Chapter 738: Passing on Shen Yue
Everyone, tomorrow is the No. 1, everyone monthly ticket up, try to vote on the No. 1, the use is the greatest, thank you!! )
The so-called fasting and praying for rain does not mean that the emperor will not do anything else.
For Emperor Zhu Yujun, praying for rain was nothing more than reciting a few more scriptures, which was originally part of his monastic life.
In the afternoon, after an hour of meditation, Zhu Yujun closed his eyes before he opened his eyes.
"When did you come?" Zhu Yujun asked in a deep voice.
The one who could appear in front of him at this time was naturally Yu Peizhong, the old eunuch, and they stayed together a lot of the time.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has only been here for a short time, and it has disturbed the emperor's Qing cultivation ......"
Before Yu Peizhong finished speaking, he heard Zhu Yujun interrupt: "There must be something wrong with you, let's talk about it!" ”
Yu Peizhong was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Your Majesty, the concubine Niangniang Tuo Nu and maid brought a message over, saying that a new iced drink has been developed, please come over and taste it!" ”
"If the concubine asks you to come over, you will come, you are a master of ceremonies, but the palm print is leisurely, and the relationship in the palace is also complete!" Zhu Yujun smiled slightly.
If it was just the first half of the sentence, Yu Peizhong would have joked with the emperor, but the recent sentence is really not funny.
As a eunuch trusted by the emperor, he can only remain loyal to the emperor, and other relationships are unnecessary.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, maybe the emperor is joking, but who knows if he will turn his face the next moment? Therefore, Yu Peizhong must deal with it carefully.
"Your Majesty, although the slave maid is the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, she is also the emperor's slave, isn't disobeying the concubine disobedient to the emperor?"
Yu Peizhong explained very solemnly, but the emperor did not listen carefully, but smiled: "What new drink can she make?" Even if you want to taste it, you have to wait for it to rain! ”
God is going to rain, so when do you have to wait...... Yu Peizhong thought so.
It seems that even the most favored concubine Niangniang has lost her great attraction to the emperor, who loves to cultivate.
This has been evident in the past two years, and the emperor has been out of the Yuxu Palace less and less, and he has gone to Concubine Zheng's bedroom even less.
"What's the matter today?" Zhu Yujun asked casually.
With such a large court, there must be important things, and it is generally not a good thing.
Yu Peizhong told the emperor bad news every day, and he was able to sit firmly in the position of the master of ceremonies, which is enough to prove his cleverness and wisdom.
"There is a troublesome matter, the slave is about to report to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yujun took the tea handed over by the palace people, took a sip and said, "Say it!" ”
"The tea tax and salt tax in the southeast have gone wrong in the process of collection, and the gentry say that the people in the east factory have been exploited too much, and there have been things that have forced people to die......"
Seeing that the emperor's face was ugly, Yu Peizhong could only continue: "It is said that there are constant conflicts between the gentry and the household tax collectors, and the local government can't mediate!" ”
"These profiteers, they want to take all the money out of their own pockets and tell the people below...... You don't have to be polite to these people, everything is done according to the laws of the imperial court! Zhu Yujun clapped his hands and said.
The gentry have what virtues Zhu Yujun knows, if he doesn't suppress them this time, it will be even more troublesome to collect taxes later.
The imperial court is now in financial difficulties, and nothing is more important than taxation, so Zhu Yujun has no choice.
"Yes!" Yu Peizhong nodded.
This matter just let the emperor know that such a big country policy as taxation will not be changed because some gentry make a fuss.
The imperial court spent so much effort to suppress the Japanese in the southeast, in order to maintain the stability of the southeast tax-paying land, and the ultimate goal was to collect taxes.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice, although what happened to Fang Cai made him angry, it would not cause him to be angry.
"For the time being...... But it's not a big deal! Yu Peizhong said very cautiously.
Zhu Yujun nodded, and then asked, "Those officials, didn't come out to make noise again!" ”
Thinking that he has already regressed, coupled with the big stick punishment (exile) ahead, there should be no one who does not know each other anymore.
It's a pity that I really received an impeachment note this evening, which is particularly outstanding.
"Back to the emperor, there is really an impeachment excerpt, which was handed over in the afternoon!" Yu Peizhong said with a wry smile.
Zhu Yujun is really angry now, is there really someone who doesn't give him face so much?
I only heard Zhu Yujun sneer: "Who is on the fold?" Who is impeached? Cabinet or West Factory? ”
Yu Peizhong said: "It is Pang Shouxing, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who impeached Chen Xiaoting, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, for his lawlessness!" ”
Zhu Yujun didn't expect that this would be the case, impeaching a specific person in the brocade guard, which is a rare situation.
"Bring me the fold!" Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice.
Yu Peizhong took everything he wanted to report directly, so he turned around and glanced at the little eunuch outside the house, and the latter took a fold from the trailer.
The fold was handed to Zhu Yujun, and then he spread it out and looked at it, only to see that it was densely filled with words.
The content is extremely full, and all kinds of evil deeds of Chen Xiaoting are written, which makes Zhu Yujun smack his tongue when he sees it.
"The writing is good!" Zhu Yujun praised it, but did not express a specific attitude.
Yu Peizhong said: "This excerpt slave maid has seen it, although this person's style is good...... But there is always an exaggeration! ”
Whether it is an exaggeration or not, the emperor must be clear in his heart, after all, most of the above words are tasks assigned by him.
"What do you think should be done about this?" Zhu Yujun asked.
This is just a trivial matter, Yu Peizhong directly expressed his opinion and said: "The slave thinks that she can ignore it directly, after all, Chen Xiaoting has not made any big mistakes."
It's not just that he didn't make a mistake, but he obviously has a great contribution to the court, at least more than the person who wrote the excerpt.
Who knew that Zhu Yujun said: "Having said that, the last impeachment turmoil was suppressed, and the officials still need to be appeased!" ”
This really surprised Yu Peizhong, the emperor has already made a step, is he planning to make another step?
The officials impeached, and then arrested Chen Xiaoting and handed him over to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department for trial and questioning?
Who will work for the emperor in the future? This is definitely unreasonable, not to mention that those officials are even more smacked in the face.
"Jin Yiwei's affairs, leave it to Jin Yiwei to deal with...... You tell me? Zhu Yujun asked again.
Yu Peizhong was stunned for a while, and then said: "But the emperor, the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi is the same knowledge...... It's Chen Xiaoting's father-in-law! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yujun couldn't help laughing and said, "What, are you still afraid that Shen Yue will be favoritistic?" ”
Yu Peizhong naturally didn't mean this, he really couldn't figure out what the emperor's purpose was in making things so awkward.
"The emperor values Shen Yue, he naturally will not be a person who bends the law for personal gain!" Yu Peizhong said firmly.
"If he wants to take charge of the Jinyi Guard, he must let me see it...... Is he really that faithful? Zhu Yujun said with a serious face.
But in fact, the emperor's mind will certainly not be so simple, because this statement is full of loopholes.
The real situation is that Shen Yue took the initiative to arrest Ma Weiming in the previous impeachment turmoil, which made the emperor very disgusted.
A person who is unwilling to resist the emperor, but instead confesses to the civil officials, is not worth reusing and relying on at all.
However, Chen Xiaoting, a person who can do things, is Shen Yue's son-in-law, which also makes the emperor unable to let go of his hands.
So the best thing to do is to separate these two people, and there is a great opportunity in front of them.
Of course, this arrangement is also easy for Zhu Yujun, in a sense, Shen Yue and Chen Xiaoting are not so important, after all, there is no shortage of capable people below.
Purely in a tempered mentality, Zhu Yujun smiled slightly: "Send someone to spread Shen Yue into the palace to see what he says!" ”
