Chapter 71: The Early Conflict of the Dynasties
Many people know about Zhu Houzhao's military training in Xiyuan, and even many people know about Zhu Houzhao's military training in Xiyuan, but there are not many people who react here. Both civil officials and nobles ignored this issue, as if they were blind, as if they could not see this issue, and turned a blind eye.
Although the courtiers often interfere in royal affairs, there are some places that are not easy to interfere with, such as the selection of the prince's personal guards.
What can you say? Say that the prince likes martial arts or not? In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done a very good job in schoolwork, treating people gently and politely, and has been praised by many teachers. said that the prince's expenses were too big, but the problem was that people didn't care about asking you for money, saying that the prince's training was mischieving? I guess my head moved first.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao's matter in Xiyuan was ignored and pretended not to be seen, and Zhu Houzhao was also happy.
The matter of Xiyuan came to an end, and Zhu Houzhao packed up and went to the early court early the next morning, because the early court was going to discuss the matter of salt politics today.
Although the early dynasty is on every day, but the early dynasty also has a charter, not that everyone goes, say whatever you want, just talk about your feelings, and forget it. The constitution of the early dynasty was drawn up the day before, and the emperor would choose some scripts, and if he couldn't make up his mind, he would discuss it in the early dynasty the next day.
The establishment of the Salt and Iron Division was the biggest event in the imperial court for a period of time, and naturally attracted the most attention.
Zhu Houzhao followed his father into the main hall, and then the ministers saluted, and then the early dynasty officially began.
The previous discussion was very fast, everyone knew that these were not the main things, and their minds were not on this, and soon it came to the last thing, that is, the problem of the Salt and Iron Division that everyone was concerned about. The officials present were all holding their breath, although there was no expression on their faces, but their hearts were not calm.
"The documents for the establishment of the Salt and Iron Division of the cabinet officials have been handed over, I have taken a look, it is very good, put the Salt and Iron Division under the Ministry of Households, and the Household Department will be in charge of the Salt and Iron Division, and everyone will discuss it!" Zhu Youjiao's gaze swept over the main hall, and he said with no expression on his face, just like what he said before.
Zhu Houzhao stood at the bottom of the steps, respectful, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, looking like I didn't know anything and didn't care about anything.
These days, the ministers have not paid much attention to Zhu Houzhao, because Zhu Houzhao stood on the steps and did not speak, nor did he express his opinion, which was a bit disappointing to say. In fact, Zhu Houzhao was hiding, hiding from the matter of the Salt and Iron Division, and the matter of the Salt and Iron Division was planned by him, and he didn't want to be implicated.
Besides, this time the Salt and Iron Division is a big battlefield, and this big battlefield will become a Shura field for strangulation, so Zhu Houzhao will not be stupid to drill into it.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is inappropriate!"
At this time, a person stood up and said with a solemn face: "If the Salt and Iron Division is placed under the household department, and the household department is in charge of the salt and iron division, what is the difference from before?" The minister thought that when the Salt and Iron Division was set up separately, a yamen could be directly subordinate to the cabinet. ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the guy who said this curiously, and found that this was the official branch who put on a look in the matter.
Salt and Iron Division Naoli Cabinet? Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at the three cabinet scholars, and when he saw that they had no expressions, he suddenly sighed in his heart, they are worthy of old fritters, these old guys really don't change their faces. Zhu Houzhao can see it now, what kind of bullshit is to go straight to the cabinet, this idea is not at all to really make the salt and iron division directly subordinate to the cabinet, but to take it out to disgust the cabinet.
To put it bluntly, it is creating a reason to attack the cabinet, and at the same time warning the emperor, Your Majesty, you have to be careful, be careful that the cabinet is directly subordinate to the Salt and Iron Division.
To drive a wedge between the emperor and the cabinet, and at the same time let the cabinet avoid suspicion and not get involved more in the salt and iron division, to put it bluntly, it will cut off the possibility of several scholars in the cabinet reaching out. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh, it was really digging a pit and burying people and couldn't see it, no matter who came up with the idea, but it was very, very disgusting.
Is this just creating a reason without a reason? Zhu Houzhao believed that as soon as several scholars in the cabinet expressed their stance or did something, the impeachment script would be sent to the palace immediately.
"The minister also thinks this move is inappropriate!" Someone else stood up: "The minister thinks that the salt and iron division can list the yamen alone, but it cannot be directly subordinate to the cabinet, and the cabinet is the place where the cabinet ministers assist His Majesty in handling the government affairs, how can they be directly subordinate to the yamen?" The minister thought that the salt and iron division could list the yamen and the household department at the same level. ”
"Any member of the imperial court can be in charge of salt and iron affairs, and the imperial history of the left capital of the Jiadu Procuratorate and the title of Shangshu of the household department."
Listening to this person's words, Zhu Houzhao almost stopped laughing, he was really afraid that the official would be small, and the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate added the book of the household department, and stepped on the book of the household department with one foot. Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at the head of the household, and sure enough, Tong Zhong's face was dark, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that this meant that someone wanted to take the position.
"The minister thinks that the salt and iron division should be used as a separate yamen, and the important ministers of the dynasty should be in charge of their affairs, and the minister thinks that it is most suitable to determine the country."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the person who said that Dingguo Gong was suitable, and as soon as this person said this, Zhu Houzhao knew that this was the ghost of his uncle Shouning Hou Zhang Heling. This person should be from Xungui's side, it seems that he is not very old, but the title is not low, he should be an earl, obviously this was picked up by his uncle.
The civil official looked at Xungui's side with unkind eyes, you must know that although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter was caused by Xunqi, especially Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and now it is really here.
Although the three cabinet scholars were expressionless and did not speak from beginning to end, they were somewhat comfortable in their hearts at this time, a group of fools. If it weren't for the opportunity to block the opportunity for Xun Qi to intervene, why did we have to put the Salt and Iron Division under the household department, and we had to let the household department squire be in charge of the salt and iron department.
The single yamen, no matter where it is placed, will give those relatives a chance to intervene, and then it will be a big trouble.
In fact, the other ministers are not blind to this, and they are not ignorant of this truth, but if the Salt and Iron Division is placed under the Household Department, and Wei Jifu, the left attendant of the Household Department, is in charge of the Salt and Iron Division, and you have arranged it together? So what do we do? No, you have to pull it out, and you must not be allowed to succeed.
If you pull it out, you can grab it with Xungui, and if you don't pull it out, you will give it to you directly, how to do it, I need to say?
Zhu Youzhu and Zhu Houzhao, father and son, looked at the noisy mess below, with no expression on their faces, but they were very happy in their hearts. Especially Zhu Youjiao, this time he looked at Xungui and Xunqi with a very strange gaze, you must know that Xungui and Xunqi have rarely directly clashed with the cultural management over the years, and this time it is directly head-on, which is really eye-opening.
