68. Zhu Houzhao who roared in the early dynasty

The ministers began to be restless and ready to move, ready to draw inferences from one case and fight against the prince Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Hou looked at the ministers and couldn't help but think about it.

"Could it be that if you say that Lord Ye Qi enjoys a clean reputation, he will not make mistakes? Saints make mistakes, so won't she make mistakes? This palace feels that this salt introduction and restructuring is a big mistake! Zhu Houzhao made a lot of nonsense, with the meaning of wanting to compete with the sky.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the difference in what you say! This salt introduction reform is a matter after Lord Ye Qi Ye has thought it through, it is impossible for Lord Ye Qi to make such an important matter wrong, this is a major matter related to the imperial court! An official said.

"Oh, may I ask how much do you know about Lord Ye Qiye? I think you should not be an official in the same dynasty as Lord Ye Qiye! So why are you so sure he won't make mistakes? Or are you Lord Ye Qiye's protΓ©gΓ© or his own son? Zhu Houzhao's last sentence is more or less ironic, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to.

But this is the result that I Zhu Houzhao wanted, that is, to make these officials quarrel. Only in this way can we better distinguish them, so that they can be classified as civil servants.

"This ......" The official was naturally a little speechless, after all, he had only been an official in the capital for a few years, so he naturally couldn't get acquainted with Ye Qi, just relying on a few words to talk nonsense.

"Xia Guan naturally doesn't know Lord Ye Qi, but Xia Guan heard about Lord Ye's personality, he is a good official!" The man was a little cowardly, a little speechless.

"But on paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. You don't even know Ye Qi, isn't it too ridiculous for Lord Ye to say that he didn't do anything wrong in this matter? Besides, is it true that a good official has to make all the right decisions? Wind reviews are often half-truths and half-truths, and you can't believe them all, and of course you can't believe them! So you don't have a say at all. Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the victory to pursue, and his momentum was aggressive.

Zhu Houzhao continued to look at the ministers in the court and said, "This reform of the salt introduction system has seriously affected the food supply in the frontier, causing many merchants to move back to the interior with their families, so who will ensure the supply of military food?" Ladies and gentlemen, who of you will provide for it? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong in what he said, the supply and demand of grain and grass is only temporary, and now it is the treasury that needs to be replenished! Now my Ming Dynasty is under the governance of His Majesty, where did the war come from, and this is the system set by Taizu, which is no longer appropriate, so it can't be muddy! Back then, Shang Ying changed the law and Guan Zhong reformed the system, which made the country strong, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you say? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't want to hold on to a little bit, Lord Ye Qiye is an honest official, and he will definitely not do anything foolish! Yang Tinghe said.

"Being an official means not being corrupt, not being corrupt, does not mean that you will not do wrong things! Everyone will do something wrong, isn't it, stumped you Qingliu, these pillars of the country have not done a single wrong thing? Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at them and said, "What mud is ancient, what Taizu's rules are too old!" Don't you know what Xiao Gui Cao Sui is? This is obviously the demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall, the transformation of the supply of military grain into an abundance of the treasury, which is not advisable! ”

"What's wrong? Isn't what Hongu said wrong? Zhu Houzhao's tone aggravated a lot, he just wanted to create such an atmosphere. These people can't see the drawbacks of this salt introduction reform, in fact, they are probably also the beneficiaries of this decision. People die for money, birds die for food, this is the truth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be impulsive! There are indeed some drawbacks to this matter, but it is also such a decision that you have discussed and made. If we change back to the old system, then we need to find some other way to make the treasury abundant! Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao kindly.

"Master Li, what you said is reasonable!" Zhu Houzhao agreed with Li Dongyang's statement.

"Since the crown prince agrees with Lord Li's statement, why did he say this, not to mention that His Majesty also agreed to this matter, and the cabinet vote was approved, so I still doubt that His Majesty will not succeed?" Yang Tinghe said.

"White horses are not horses! Master Yang seems to have asked the palace to say that his father was wrong. Zhu Houzhao sneered, "Why can't my father make mistakes, no one can do anything if he is not a sage." Sages will make mistakes, not to mention that his father often boasts of himself, although he is a noble emperor and a true dragon son, he is not as good as one ten-thousandth of the Confucian saints. ”

"And what Master Li said just now is that there are drawbacks to this matter, but if you change back to the system set by Taizu before, you need to find another way to solve the problem of the treasury. So the question should be how to enrich the treasury! Zhu Hou looked at the people in the court, "Then I want to ask all the adults who have read poetry and books and learned the way of saints?" May I ask the way of the sages to tell you how to get rich, how to make the country rich? ”

"The way of the saint is omnipotent! Although I don't know the mystery, there must be a way to get rich and a way to enrich the country. Ladies and gentlemen, why did you agree to tear down the east wall and make up for the salt introduction system on the west wall, instead of thinking about how to replenish the national treasury? Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries. May I ask if my father is worried about the problem of whether the treasury is sufficient, and what is your solution? Are you worthy of the money you receive every month? ”

"On the official side, Haiyan River is clear, is it difficult not to include how to make the people rich? Only when the people get rich can they pay more taxes, the treasury can be abundant, the country can give the people a better living guarantee, can they resist foreign enemies on the outside, and can they be safe and wise on the inside! Zhu Hou took care of the adults, and actually remembered a classic quote from their bookish atmosphere.

"If this palace is not mistaken, there is such a sentence in the "Book of Rites and Rites", so people do not kiss their relatives alone, and they do not have only sons and sons. So that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, lonely and the sick are all supported. Zhu Houzhao smiled, "I think this kind of realm is what every king and the minister of the country wants to see, but this is not something that can be done by demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, to make the people rich, to make the country rich!" ”

"How can you, who are well versed in the words of the saints, agree to such a thing? I think it's very good, my father and father also make mistakes, and his decision is wrong! You don't want to think about how to get rich, it's better for the palace to merge the post station into a civilian official share, and it can also bring some benefits to the emperor and enrich the treasury! Are you not ashamed? ”

"Your Highness, this statement is too extreme! We have been officials for many years, how easy is this governance, can we just rely on the words of His Highness to say that it will be cured? His Royal Highness wants to make meritorious contributions and come out, I'm afraid he is too eager! ”

"That's it!"

"That's it!"

Above the court, there was a lot of noise.
