Chapter 621: Your Majesty, Your Majesty Was Poisoned
Indeed, if Yang Xin had to enter Beijing or even take military action, then it would be confirmed that he wanted to usurp the throne......
At least I want to learn from Cao Cao.
He wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes!
In the final analysis, Yang Xin's current strength can maintain the status quo not because he is incapable of usurping the throne, but because he has a special relationship with Tianqi.
From beginning to end, the two of them have been called Junchen and are really brothers, even if he really wants to usurp the throne, it is not good to get from the hands of the Apocalypse, there is no psychological obstacle for him to take the throne of others, but his seizure of the Apocalypse is really a bit disgraceful, at least in the traditional moral concept, he is still not authentic in doing so.
It's important to win the country unjustly.
Yang Xin seems to be full of evil, but he actually has an excellent reputation among the people.
Yang Jiazhen is like a great good man.
But if Tianqi suddenly dies of illness at this time, then he doesn't have to worry about his reputation, he can completely go to Beijing to control Cao Cao, the government and the school, under the banner of protecting the orphans and widows left by Tianqi.
Indeed, he did not usurp the throne.
But the son of the apocalypse is only three years old now!
Even if he is pro-government, it will take more than ten years, and he will be able to complete all the layouts in these ten years, and even the people's hearts will be completely bought, and the people have almost forgotten about the Apocalypse, and Lu Xiangsheng, the military bigwigs who are loyal to the Apocalypse, will also be solved, and at that time, as long as the two sons of the Apocalypse die of illness. There is no heir to the apocalypse, and King Zhennan will definitely not make his younger brother the emperor again, and even with his means, it is not difficult to let King Xin die of illness by the way, and in the end, there is no heir in this line, and he will casually perform a few big dramas of persuasion, and finally the world will fall into his hands.
At the end of the day, there are too many such examples.
And a powerful minister like him, especially a powerful minister who has rightfully mastered the territory, if he does not seek to usurp the throne, he will not end well.
He really no one dares to mess with.
But there will be a time when he will die, and then it will be time to raid his house and destroy the door.
His men are also aware of this.
Once there is a day, they will definitely not be missed when the court liquidates the Yang family, even if they are not there at that time, their descendants will still have to be pulled into the list, unless Yang Xin seeks to usurp the throne, then they will also become the founding fathers, so even if Yang Xin does not want to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, these people will also try to push him.
After all, no one can push this thing away when the yellow robe is added.
But nine thousand years old is faithful.
Although later histories portrayed him as heinous, Wenchen also inadvertently recorded his behavior after the death of the Apocalypse in their smeared records......
Both eyes are swollen.
Both eyes were swollen from crying.
He has always regarded himself as a loyal old slave.
As for nine thousand years old or something, it is not worth mentioning, although modern people seem to have this title as an exaggeration, as if calling nine thousand years old is arrogant and arrogant to treat the emperor as a puppet, but in fact, it is very common for eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to call them thousand years old, and it is not a big deal at all.
Matteo Ricci recorded very clearly in Wanli that when he saw the Nanjing garrison eunuch, he was asked to call the other party Chitose, and the Nanjing garrison eunuch was only a medium role in the internal official system, but he was just a master of ceremonies, and his status was not as good as a Bingbi eunuch.
Nanjing, Fengyang, Tianshou Mountain, Chengtian four garrison eunuchs, Xiaoling palace eunuchs, Zhengyang and other gate commanders eunuchs, Taiheshan town guard eunuchs.
The Nanjing garrison eunuch was called Chitose.
And it was in the Wanli period.
So with the power of nine thousand years old at this time, complimenting him nine thousand years old is really not a big deal.
But his loyalty to the Apocalypse is unquestionable.
Between the Apocalypse and Yang Xin, he will only choose the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong is right, he must guard this last gate for the Apocalypse, so in the end he chose to listen to Sun Chengzong, and then the holy decree drafted by the celebrant was issued, and a special messenger was sent to Nanjing by communication ship......
"Not allowed?"
King Zhennan said in amazement.
Anyway, he is also an acting school at this moment!
"The king, nine thousand years old means that His Majesty's imperial body has gradually improved, the king guards Nanjing, once he leaves, he is afraid of accidents, so there is no need to enter Beijing, and there is a private message from nine thousand years old here."
Li Shi, the new Nanjing garrison eunuch, said.
He is the messenger.
He was also the new Nanjing garrison eunuch.
Nanjing garrison eunuchs still have to have, it just so happens that Li Shi and Zhennan Wang are also old acquaintances, since he lost Suzhou, he has not had a specific position, this is currently purely a decoration of the garrison eunuch just handed over to him. As for Liu Shimin, he is still his city supervisor in Zhaoyi City, this special administrative district has not been revoked, but it is just under the jurisdiction of King Zhennan, which is actually equivalent to a prefect, and by the way, he supervises Caoyun in Zhenjiang.
Although Yang Xin is responsible for the unification of grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the grain in the upper reaches still has to go through the canal.
Liu Shimin did this.
In addition, the transportation of some upstream materials to relieve Beijing is also under his control.
The remaining Fengyang garrison eunuchs and Xiaoling palace eunuchs were also retained, but the weaving was revoked, and the materials that originally needed to be paid tribute to the palace were all in charge of the king of Zhennan......
Jiangsu and Zhejiang don't just pay taxes.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty has additional tribute, some of the kind, some have been converted into silver, but the number is not much, for example, Ying Tianfu needs to pay tribute to 20,000 catties of hemp, 400 catties of fish glue thread, 120,000 feathers.
However, there are many, for example, the Suzhou government originally wanted to solve more than 10,000 taels of silver in Beijing, not that there were only taxes.
Now it's all under Yang Xin.
The final result was that Yang Xin needed to pay about 5 million stone rice to the 9,000-year-old every year, plus about 3 million taels of silver, including the salt tax, two customs duties, various other commercial taxes and tugong, the largest of which was the salt tax and the original forfeiture of silver, a total of about 1.5 million taels. The salt tax is not much, but there is a lot of confiscated silver every year, and the nine thousand years old simply set a general figure with Yang Xin, anyway, he can't suffer in this regard.
In fact, 9,000 years old is a bit of a bargain.
Because in the past, these main lessons were Tian Fu and the like, and they had never really been collected at all, and all of them had a large amount of arrears, and they would continue to be in arrears, Wanli's solution was to wipe the accounts and pull them down in the end, and the nine thousand years old was to ask Yang Xin for money and food according to the books, and in the end, only these, nine thousand years old could increase by millions every year.
Of course, all things considered, the nine thousand years old still suffered in the end.
Because of the original, these eunuchs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang made more than one million in various ways for him every year.
The Nanjing garrison eunuchs are fat.
Weaving eunuchs too.
Nine thousand years old is not only legal, the interests of salt merchants, and the etiquette of officials running for official positions are all counted, and most of the extra silver that these eunuchs have made through various gray and black means still goes to him.
He really has the power to kill these people.
Now that's gone.
However, he is not the most seriously affected, after all, he has enough compensation, first of all, Yang Xin Xie Jing is not silver but rice, and there is a problem of the difference between the original discount silver and the price of rice in the capital, the latter is always higher than the former. So in the end, considering the whole thing, he actually took advantage of more than he suffered, in fact, there was a confused account between him and Yang Xin, Yang Xin also gave him a loan, and he was still able to borrow money from the bank when he was nervous, anyway, if he didn't repay Yang Xin when it was due, he would deduct the Beijing tax.
They couldn't figure it out.
The really unluckiest are the civil and military officials.
There is compensation for the loss of 9,000 years old, but they don't.
Especially those local officials, who were originally officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the most important fat differences, not to mention political envoys, even if they were just a county official, they could leave with a large sum of money after working in this area for three years. These two places are like two pieces of fat waiting for those officials, especially those in the north, who are counting on being officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make money, and now they can no longer touch it.
It's no wonder that the roots of the teeth that are hated are itchy.
Seeing that this treasure-like land was taken away by Yang Xin!
"Your Majesty's condition is really improving?"
Yang Xin said suspiciously.
"Back to the king, when the little one left Beijing, His Majesty was already able to get out of bed and walk around, and it was actually not a major illness, but it was contracted by the wind and cold after falling into the water, and His Majesty had the blessing of heaven, so this minor illness was nothing."
Li Shi said with a smile.
"Really? We're all old acquaintances, I'm an honest man, don't lie to me! ”
Yang Xin said.
"The king laughed, how dare the little one!"
Li Shi said with a smile.
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out outside the door.
Li Shi turned his head in astonishment, and then saw Wang Huazhen standing in front of the door, and he could see that the servants were even very haggard, of course he couldn't not know Lao Wang, who was the president of Yangjia Hospital, and Yangjia Hospital was the most important life-saving place in the capital......
"It's just nonsense, Your Majesty is in a coma in bed, how can you get out of bed and walk around?"
Lao Wang reprimanded angrily.
"Wang, Dean Wang......"
Li Shi said dumbfounded.
Then Lao Wang stepped forward like a bent, kicked him to the ground, and then bowed to Yang Xin......
"The king, this gelding lies to deceive the king, its intention is only to prevent the king from entering Beijing, deliberately put His Majesty to death, the old man is still behind leaving Beijing, he was in the palace before leaving Beijing, His Majesty is critically ill, he has been in a coma again, and hemoptysis does not stop.
The old decay and the medical school princes are powerless, and now the only one who can save His Majesty is the king, and the old decay implores the king to take His Majesty as the most important thing in the Ming Society, and go to the capital as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be a disaster that I dare not speak! In addition, according to the old decay, His Majesty is not really a wind chill, when he first fell into the water, he was indeed infected with wind chill, but it aggravated immediately after taking the medicine, and even hemoptysis, which is clearly poisoning.
Your Majesty was poisoned.
If the king does not rush to the capital immediately, the old man is afraid that the king-killing traitor will continue to attack, and His Majesty will be in danger at that time! ”
Lao Wang Zhengyi knelt down awe-inspiringly, and said while kowtowing.
