Chapter 383: Liver and Brain Smeared
Share your worries for Your Majesty! ”
Cao Wei drank wine, played with the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Ma Jing with a smile.
When it comes to sharing worries for His Majesty, Cao Wei thinks that he has made so many contributions to the court over the years that no one dares to rank first if he ranks second.
The imperial court was short of silver, so Cao Wei sent silver to the treasury many times, and even the head of the household department once said: "Half of the silver in the treasury is collected in the world, and half is collected in the Marquis of Qinyang."
There was a shortage of silver in the palace, so Cao Wei opened a large-scale Huaxu supermarket and gave Zhu Houzhao the bulk of the dividend, but in fact, in the end, the silver was moved into the inner treasury and placed in the hands of the emperor. So much so that Zhu Youzhi always thinks of Cao Wei every time he spends money, and he is grateful for his goodness.
According to Cao Wei's plan, part of the boatload of goods brought back from Dongying this time filled the inner treasury and the national treasury, and part of it opened schools between towns and villages with the help of Zhu Houzhao, so that more children could enlighten and study, and enlighten the people's wisdom.
Hangzhou epidemic disease, Cao Wei played the method of healing, benefiting the world; King Ning was restless, so Cao Wei destroyed King Ning's water division that had been running for decades, giving the Ming Dynasty ten more years of stability; The crown prince Zhu Houzhao was stubborn, Cao Wei recommended Tang Yin and Wang Yangming as the attendants of the East Palace, and now Zhu Houzhao is becoming more and more majestic as a monarch, and the courtiers are obvious to all.
Some of these achievements are known to the world, while others are only known to three or two people. When the cabinet was deliberating, Liu Jian proposed that Cao Wei be awarded the title of duke, but was suppressed by Zhu Youji.
One is out of grace, Zhu Youzhu wants to leave the opportunity to reward Cao Wei to Zhu Houzhao, so as not to have Cao Wei sealed and rewarded in the future. Cao Wei is only thirty years old now, and if the reward is too heavy, he will be hated.
The three scholars were able to get close to this Jinyi Guard official, not because of Cao Wei's identity as the marquis, nor because he was deeply trusted by His Majesty, but because he had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why the various Shangshu value Cao Wei is not only for the face of the emperor and the crown prince, but also because Cao Wei's talent is worthy of their attention, they ignore Cao Wei's age and put him on an equal footing. Every time the Shangshu waiters come home and see those unlucky sons in the house, they want to smoke twice, the more angry they are, the more angry they are, the more angry they want to smoke!
Some people who can't look at the imperial history of the Qing Dynasty often go to the book to refer to Cao Weiguan's lack of righteousness, neglect their duties, but often they can't even hand over the folds to the Imperial Palace, and they are intercepted by the imperial history of the right capital.
The right capital Yushi is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has half a foot in the power center of the entire Ming Dynasty, and he knows more things than ordinary officials.
Those petty officials under his hands don't know Cao Wei's weight, but he knows it very well, if these Cao Wei folds are handed over, I am afraid that he will be beaten down by the cabinet immediately, and maybe even with him will be beaten down by the cabinet scholars.
In addition, Mei Gongbo served as the imperial history of Zuodu and was Cao Wei's teacher, and many imperial historians who were close to Mei Gongbo were unwilling to celebrate the festival with Cao Wei, so over time, they did not have the imperial history and were not interested, and they touched the hard stone.
The name "Cao Bushen" also spread in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Ma Jing is a royal slave who has been waiting for the emperor for many years, so he naturally knows that Zhu Youzhi attaches great importance to Cao Wei, and he also knows how much credit Cao Wei has made. But in his opinion, the whole world is the royal property, and Cao Wei is also a person, and it is a blessing to be able to solve problems for the emperor as a courtier, and now there are thieves who have stolen the master's things, and as a subordinate of the family, he should pull out the thief and whip it hard!
"Grandpa Ma, do you know where Ben Hou went to sea this time? What did you do? ”
Ma Jing was stunned for a moment, he was really curious about where Cao Wei had gone and what he had done since he disappeared for so many days, not to mention him, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty who knew about Cao Wei's disappearance was curious. A marquis, with thousands of officers and soldiers playing missing, is definitely not going overseas to fish and catch fur seals.
But curiosity is curiosity, what should be asked and what should not be asked, Ma Jing weighed it in his heart, Cao Wei's whereabouts would naturally be reported to His Majesty, and it was not for him to ask, so he never asked, but he didn't expect Cao Wei to take the initiative to mention it.
Ma Jing hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "If Master Hou thinks that the miscellaneous family should not know, then the miscellaneous family should not know, if the Hou Ye thinks that the miscellaneous family can know, then you might as well say it, and the miscellaneous family will listen!" ”
Cao Wei put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "There is nothing that should not be known, these days when Benhou went to sea, he drove a boat to Dongying, killed thousands of Dongying people, captured several cities, robbed 100,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, countless treasures, and the goods filled ten ships. ”
"Smack!"
There was a crisp sound, and it was Ma Tong who didn't clench the wine glass in his hand and fell to the ground. Xie Yufei also opened his mouth wide in shock, and looked at Cao Wei in a daze.
Cao Wei's faint words were like a thunderbolt, deafening.
No one doubts the authenticity of Cao Wei's words, because Cao Wei has no need to lie at all, a marquis, and he will not make fun of a few subordinates.
But it was precisely because of the authenticity of Cao Wei's words that the other three people were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time. In a foreign land, attacking cities and plundering land, harvesting countless gold and silver treasures, filling the treasury, who can do such great feats?
Ma Jing really doesn't know what to say, whether this Hou Ye is too good at tossing, or too good at tossing!
"Father-in-law Ma, as a courtier, Benhou naturally never forgets to share his worries for His Majesty, however, Benhou has the world affairs in his heart, and what he holds in his hands is the right to life and death, where is there a little leisure?
Now that the thief has been found at home, you wait for the next person to do your best to find out the thief, but you come to point to Ben Hou's nose and ask Ben Hou to share his worries for His Majesty, what kind of reason is this? If all things have to be done by the marquis, then what do you officials have to do? Do you want to die by eating together?
In the future, when Benhou returns to Beijing, he will ask His Majesty face to face, is Benhou used to govern the country, or is it used to catch thieves? ”
Cao Wei's gaze gradually became fierce, and Ma Jing lowered his head when he saw this, but he didn't dare to look at him directly.
Cao Wei's words are very clear, I am a minister, I am doing great things, building great achievements, and I will no longer share worries for Your Majesty all the time, and I will do my best for the court.
However, you courtiers, who are always around the emperor, can't even catch the little thieves who appear in the house, which is already a very incompetent performance, and now you still want me to work hard for these little things?
Ma Jing lowered his head and wanted to argue, but he remembered the great achievements that Cao Wei had just established, and he was immediately deflated.
That's right!
As for Ma Tong, he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, and was completely taken by the momentum shown by Cao Wei.
Xie Yufei also shrunk his neck, looking at Cao Wei with three points of fear and seven points of reverence, this is the brother-in-law he knew, the powerful man who laughed and talked about killing people in Fuping County at the beginning.
"Old Ma, speaking of which, the two of us have met many times in the palace, and we are acquaintances, and Ben Hou will not tell you some lies today.
You have obtained a secret order from Your Majesty to come to Nantong Mansion to secretly investigate the tax and silver case, then you must investigate it carefully and do not live up to Your Majesty's trust in you.
However, Ben Hou didn't receive the order, so he patted his ass and left, and there was no need to play with you in Nantong Mansion... However, Ben Hou decided to stay in Nantong Mansion for a few more days! ”
Ma Jing raised his head and looked at Cao Wei, his eyes showed a bit of hope, he began to listen to Cao Wei's words, he thought that Cao Wei did not plan to go to the troubled waters of Nantong, and now it seems that there is a turning point.
Cao Wei sighed and said, "Without it, Ben Hou just wants His Majesty to sleep a little more peacefully at night!"
Your Majesty has tens of thousands of courtiers, large and small, if there are a few more who can really solve problems for him, Your Majesty will not sleep every day and wake up at five watches, you have been serving in the palace for so many years, how many palace banquets have you seen Your Majesty? How many ayara did the queen wear? ”
Ma Jing was ashamed, and Nuo Nuo was speechless!
"Ben Hou can help you, but there are some things that must be made clear, no matter how much power His Majesty gives you, how many people you give, this tax and silver case, Ben Hou is the main one, and you are the auxiliary.
So, put away your little calculations, do your job, and do your part. Ben Hou is not greedy for this pitiful credit, in the future, the tax and silver case will come out, Ben Hou will play for you! ”
Ma Jing was happy, nodded again and again, and said, "Miscellaneous... No, the old slave is at the disposal of the Hou Ye at any time, the liver and brain are smeared, the liver and brain are smeared to the ground! ”
