Now the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the important ministers in the court, have basically reached a consensus, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a stable lord. Which of the changes in the court in the past few years is not related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You must know that since the beginning of the Yangzhou private salt case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has begun to intervene in the court, and in the past few years, everyone knows the character of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The most important thing is that in the past few years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cultivated a lot of power in the court and is strong.

Not to mention the honors and the military, they are all about to become the self-reserved land of His Royal Highness the Prince, just the Wenchen's side, the political envoy Shen Lu, the household secretary Qi You, and the household servant Liu Qi, these are all His Royal Highness the Prince's people. Although he has not yet intervened in other yamen, everyone in this court knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is scrupling about His Majesty, otherwise he would have taken action a long time ago.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Liaodong, basically avoiding the edge temporarily, and most of the people in the court had this idea, which is why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did something in Liaodong, everyone selectively ignored it, because everyone from the court knew that if he really opposed the return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the capital, it would not necessarily cause any trouble.

The key is that no one dares to take this head, this Ming is this disguise, this will naturally be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, wouldn't it be looking for death.

The three cabinet scholars are also tired, and it is difficult now, fortunately, His Majesty is in good health, otherwise the three of them are thinking about whether they have slipped away, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not easy to serve, not to mention a son of heaven and a courtier. The three of them came to the Qianqing Palace together, and they were relieved in their hearts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the palace, and the atmosphere in this palace was a little more relaxed.

Looking at the three people who walked in, Zhu Youzhu waved his hand, signaled the three people to be exempt from courtesy, and at the same time ordered He Nengci to sit, and when the three people sat down, Zhu Youzhu said: "Three Aiqing, I came to you today to discuss something with you." Saying that, Zhu Youzhu picked up a notebook, and then said: "This is the notebook handed over by the prince in Liaodong." ”

As soon as the three of them heard this, their hearts suddenly sank, what is this Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do?

Handing the fold to He Neng beside him, Zhu Youzhu commanded expressionlessly: "Take it to the three Aiqing to see." ”

The reason mentioned in the family letter, this recital is very formal, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet took the recital with both hands, and then gently unfolded it, and after taking a look, Liu Jian's heart sank again. Sure enough, he still came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own family has always done things without purpose, and every time it is an endless trick.

Starting from the Salt and Iron Division, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has proved countless times that when the Tax Department was established, everyone knew that there was something greasy in it, but for a while, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to work hard in which direction, but I didn't expect it to come now. Although his heart has been turned upside down, he is still silent on this face.

After reading the recital, Liu Jian handed it to Li Dongyang, and finally it went to Xie Qian's hand, and after the three of them finished reading it, the hall fell silent.

Zhu Youzhu put down the teacup in his hand, and the expression on his face did not change, but he just said: "After reading all the twists and turns, the three Aiqing will talk about it!" ”

The three of them were still silent, they knew that His Majesty wanted to agree, if His Majesty didn't want to agree, it would be good to leave this piece directly, since they had found the three of them to discuss, it was naturally tempting. Thinking of this, the three of them didn't know how to answer for a while, this tax is a major matter of the country, and it can't be easily decided.

But the proposal that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is putting forward now, the three of them don't know what angle to refute for a while.

The benefits, the three of them can naturally be seen at a glance, the unified taxation by the tax department can avoid corruption by local officials, and can also avoid local officials from making ghosts, and more importantly, it can reduce consumption, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, how can the local officials be willing to lose this source of money? Once the local authorities lose the authority to collect taxes, will they have a better life?

"What? Is this a bad strategy? Zhu Youzhu saw that the three of them didn't speak, so he asked again, but this time his voice was a little higher.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan is a good policy, but I'm afraid it will cause an uproar!" Li Dongyang said with some confusion at this time: "What's more, this tax department is naturally going to add officials, and it is inevitable that there will be redundant officials!" The minister thought that this matter should be cautious, and the local situation is complicated, and if this policy is implemented, I am afraid that there will be chaos! ”

Glancing at Li Dongyang, Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "Isn't it good to have more officials?" There are so many scholars in this world, all of them are waiting to be officials, and if they have a little more official position, they can also be well placed. ”

"As for the complicated local situation, it is nothing more than that this move has cut off the financial routes of many magistrates, and it has become difficult for many local gentry to hide their fields." Zhu Youzhu didn't have the slightest intention to hide, and directly picked up the matter: "The court has a hard time, but the tax money has been embezzled, and the court doesn't know whose court it is." ”

As soon as the three of them heard this, they quickly got up from their chairs, picked up their clothes and knelt on the ground: "The ministers are guilty." ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up, what do you kneel, let's just talk." Waiting until the three of them stood up, Zhu Youzhu continued to speak: "I think I might as well give it a try, since the prince is in Liaodong, he can't make any trouble in the future, so just try it, and then see if it doesn't work!" ”

"What do the three Aiqing think?" Saying that, Zhu Youzhu smiled and looked at the three cabinet scholars.

Since the great victory in Northern Xinjiang, the imperial court has money, and the Black Dragon Army has the strongest combat power in the world, the confidence in Zhu Youjiao's heart is naturally enough, and once he has confidence, the emperor's domineering will come out. In addition to his son's continuous indoctrination in the past few years, Zhu Youzhu did realize some problems in Daming, if his son wants to try, let him try.

The three of them glanced at each other, and there was a little bitterness in their hearts, when did this majesty become so strong?

There is only one reason why the emperor is not strong, that is, the loss of imperial power, many times the emperor has no way to call the shots, but now it is different, the imperial power has been further strengthened, and Zhu Youzhu naturally seems to be much stronger. The three of them also knew that His Majesty had to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give it a try, and even though they didn't want to, they knew that they couldn't stop it.

The courtiers wanted to stop the emperor unless they were forced to resign, but sometimes, such persecution would only make the emperor do more, and history has proven this countless times.
