Chapter 287: The monarch unties the knot
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Mirage".
Wu Zheng was surprised: "Why did Your Highness say this? The minister has never been dissatisfied with His Highness's appointment as a prisoner. What happened today was, firstly, due to misunderstanding, and secondly, the soldiers under the command of the ministers were indeed dissatisfied with the unfair treatment of the imperial court. But for His Royal Highness, they all have great respect. Please don't be careful, Your Highness! ”
Qian Sule listened to Wu Zheng's tone and became kind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yujiao said: "In fact, a female streamer in this palace, whether it is military or political, is not proficient, if there is a more suitable one, you might as well support it." ”
Qian Sule said hurriedly: "If the world needs His Highness to be proficient in military and political affairs, what else do you need your courtiers to do?" ”
Wu Zheng also echoed: "Lord Qian is right, military and political affairs are naturally shared by the important ministers of the court, and what His Highness has to do is to give justice to the courtiers." If you can do this, Your Highness will be Mingjun! ”
Qian Sule agreed: "Jing Haihou is very true. ”
Zhu Yujiao suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, Jing Haihou is not dissatisfied with this palace?" ”
"The minister will not dare to be dissatisfied with His Highness."
"Is Jinghaihou dissatisfied with the move of the imperial court to the north?"
"Ying Tianfu is the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural for the imperial court to move the capital!"
"So is Jing Haihou dissatisfied with the official titles awarded by the imperial court, or does he think that the feudal land rewarded by the imperial court is not as good as you think?"
Wu Zheng replied: "What the minister is fighting about has nothing to do with selfish desires, the minister just wants the court to work together to correct the injustice of the soldiers under his command." ”
"What do you think?"
"The minister said before that the army does not interfere in politics, and politics does not interfere in the army." After thinking about it, Wu Zheng added, "If Your Highness is not at ease with the military ministers who are in charge of heavy troops, you can divide the prefectures controlled by the imperial court into three towns and use them as horns, so that you can rest assured." ”
Qian Sule interjected and asked, "How are the three towns divided?" ”
"His Royal Highness should respond to Tianfu, defend Jiangbei, and become a town of its own. The subject is based on the defense of Hangzhou to the south, which can be a town. Xingguo Gong is based on the sea, and the north and south are supported by the sailors, and it is a town. ”
Zhu Yujiao turned to Qian Sule and said, "Lord Qian, this palace thinks what Jing Haihou said is reasonable, what do you think?" ”
Qian Sule thought for a while and said, "This proposal is feasible, but it's just ...... If Jinghai is stationed in Hangzhou, and Xingguo is stationed in Dinghai, Ying Tianfu's troops will be weak, and besides, with Liao's command ability, it is not enough to deal with the defense of thousands of miles of rivers. Also, Jinghaihou insists on not interfering in the army, and the army does not interfere in politics, so may I ask Jinghaihou, except for Ying Tianfu, will the government affairs of the other two towns be taken over by the imperial court? ”
Wu Zheng said suddenly: "Lord Qian misinterpreted Wu Zheng's meaning, the government affairs of the three prefectures are related to the army's salary, if the imperial court is willing to bear the army's salary, Wu Zheng does not object to the imperial court taking over the government affairs of the various prefectures." ”
Qian Sule was a little angry, "According to your intentions, if the imperial court does not provide enough food, this land will become your Jinghaihou's private property?" ”
Wu Zheng didn't want to scare Qian Sule, but at this time, he was also impulsive, "Lord Qian doesn't think about how to fill the national treasury, just wants to take food from the mouths of the soldiers?" ”
Qian Sule was furious, pointed at Wu Zheng and said: "The imperial court has collected all parts of the country, how to collect taxes from the local area?" It is customary to exempt the newly attached land from paying taxes for one to three years, and it is ....... ”
Wu Zheng interrupted: "It turns out that Lord Qian has already classified these mansions into the newly attached land, but in Wu Zheng's opinion, these mansions are my Ming homeland, and they are all Ming people, and it is natural to collect taxes." ”
The hat was buttoned a little hard, which made Qian Sule's fingers tremble, and he couldn't speak for a while.
In fact, Wu Zheng was deeply affected by Mo's obsession, and had very big objections to the low taxes levied by the Ming court on the world.
In fact, it is not the ordinary people who really benefit from such indulgence in the world, but the taxes that should have been included in the national treasury have gone into the pockets of some people.
In this case, it is better to levy taxes explicitly, so that those nobles who enjoy tax exemption will lose the opportunity to dig into the corners of the imperial court.
But obviously, Qian Sule didn't figure this out, or he couldn't turn this corner, in his concept, low taxes and tax exemptions were still a shortcut to win the hearts of the people all over the world, which was a common problem of Wenchen at that time.
Zhu Yujiao stood on Wu Zheng's side this time and said: "This palace thinks that what Jing Haihou said is reasonable, the national disaster is at the head, the mountains and rivers are broken, it is for the Ming people, and they should go to the national disaster together, besides, this palace believes that Jing Haihou will not impose heavy taxes on the people under his rule, and Lord Qian can watch the results of Jing Haihou's implementation, and then decide whether the imperial court should follow the example of Hangzhou Mansion." ”
Hearing Zhu Yujiao say this, Qian Sule no longer insisted.
On this night, the three of them reached many consensuses and compromises, and although the process was extremely bumpy, the final result was good.
This delayed the sharpness of the contradictions between the two sides, and also provided legitimacy for Wu to fight for the autonomy of the three governments in the future.
……。
When she left Zhu Yujiao's "sleeping palace", the sky was already slightly bright.
To Wu Zheng's surprise, he met Zhu Chenyu when he went out.
"Uh......, little ...... Sister, why are you here? Although her identity is clear, Zhu Chenyu can't be external, so she is still a brother and sister, but this makes Wu Zheng feel very awkward.
"Brother...... Are you okay? Zhu Chenyu asked with concern, "Last night was chaotic, Simin and I were anxious and worried, and we didn't dare to tell my father, for fear that he would be in a hurry." Later, Chi Erhan rushed to inform him that there was a bad guy who wanted to harm his brother, and said that Shen Zhiyuan was injured by an arrow in order to save his brother. ”
Looking at Zhu Chenyu's worried eyes, Wu Zheng's heart warmed, and he hurriedly comforted: "I'm fine." ”
Turning around, "Look, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
Zhu Chenyu saw that Wu Zheng was really fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, Simin can rest assured." ”
Wu Zheng suddenly thought, "You have been standing here for half the night, right?" ”
"That's not true, when Chi Erhan came to report, Simin was going to go out to visit, but I think she was pregnant, in case it was not good for the fetus in her womb if she was hit, just say that I would visit, so that she could wait for news at home. But when I arrived, you had already been summoned into the palace by His Highness, so I had to wait here. ”
Although it is summer, after all, it is in the valley, and there are still many mosquitoes.
Looking at the redness and swelling on Zhu Chenyu's hands and face, Wu Zheng felt pity in his heart and reproached: "You too, since Chi Erhan has been told that it's okay, what are you doing when you come out?" I'll go back when I'm done. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and naturally stroked the redness and swelling on Zhu Chenyu's face that was bitten by mosquitoes, and the brother and sister relationship of more than ten years was undoubtedly revealed.
Zhu Chenyu faced it calmly, and it was this move that made the embarrassment between the two parties due to the change of identity quickly disappear.
Zhu Chenyu smiled, and she said, "If my brother is fine, it is better to go home and rest for a while." ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Also, after tossing all night, my stomach is also hungry." ”
"Then I'll cook you a bowl of eggs."
The two walked back side by side.
