Chapter 786: Waiting for the Opportunity to Rob
Although Liu Jin is notorious, he is also a very capable person. Otherwise, there is no way to tilt the power towards the opposition. In fact, the "rice penalty case" made by Eunuch Liu is a big move to deal with the shortfall. After Liu Jin was executed, this trick was still retained and became an important weapon for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the deficit.
The method of "punishing rice" is, I don't care what reason you have, Taicang, the national treasury and other treasury will be handed over to you to manage, if you leave office, there is a huge deficit compared to before you took office, then I will punish you to pay out of your own pocket to make up for the shortfall. Zhishi's can be halved, but in the end.
In other words, even if you are retired, as long as you live, you still have to dig into the big things related to inventory deficits. In fact, from ancient times to the present, many ministers in charge of the treasury have been greedy for ink. Some people, after serving as treasurer, will almost empty a certain treasury. And because officials protect each other, often this kind of thing is not resolved in the end, and the country loses in vain anyway.
And Liu Jin's method is simple and crude - I don't care what your reason is, and I don't want to hear it. Anyway, if there is a deficit in the treasury under your control, you will have to pay out of your own pocket to cover the shortfall. Of course, if you bite your colleagues, you can also lose a little less......
In this way, the relevant officials in charge of the treasury, under Liu Jin's high-pressure policy, rarely dared not stretch out their hands. Otherwise, he will be punished and bankrupt. It is said that Han Wen, who once served as the secretary of the ministry and was in charge of the official hat of the world, was also punished for bankruptcy after retirement. Later, after Jiajing ascended the throne, he rescued and subsidized Han Wen with 4 stone rice every month, otherwise the Han family would not be able to open the pot......
Of course, Hanwen's punishment may not be his own fault. And Jiajing's subsidy for Hangul is not out of kindness. Because, Jiajing has a hobby - a comprehensive denial of Zhengde...... Hanwen was a minister who was engaged during the Zhengde period, and regardless of whether Hanwen was to blame or not, Jiajing will definitely affirm Hanwen's positive image. In this way, the goal of further blackening Zhengde can be achieved...... Subsidizing Hanwen is to let the world see - you see, how miserable the "upright" Han Shangshu was forced by Zhengde's faint king, or am I good......
……
Of course, that's a story for later. In fact, Marin is very uninterested in Jiajing. Moreover, when he comes to Daming next time, he must advise Zhengde, pay attention to self-cultivation, and don't mess around too much. The reason why Emperor Zhengde did not leave descendants is probably related to his premature life of silver chaos.
According to historical records, Emperor Zhengde will build a leopard house in the third year of Zhengde. The leopard room first raised jackals, tigers and leopards, and when they got tired of raising them, they changed to open various shops, Zhengde pretended to be customers, and the eunuchs in the palace pretended to be bosses......
Of course, all the way to this point, no problem. The real problem is after - after that, the leopard room will not open shops, but will open the Qinglou instead, Zhengde asked the palace maid to pretend to be a female branch girl, and then he pretended to be a female ticket customer, and he played with those palace maids at will.
But the problem is that Zhengde is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and he will only be sixteen or seventeen next year. The body has not yet grown, and it is inevitable that he will hurt his own yuan by "visiting the Qinglou" every day. Therefore, Zhengde looks fine, but because the original is damaged, he can't leave an heir......
Ma Lin's plan is that after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he will casually teach Zhengde a set of Shaolin circulating on the Internet, and then fool him into saying that he must control the house before the age of 20 before he can become successful......
It was only after it was spread to Shaolin that the monks bragged about it, and in order to improve the quality, it was said that it was created by the ancestor of Bodhidharma. Or, maybe it was falsely spread by Mr. Jin and other families.
Of course, in order to fool Zhengde, Ma Lin will definitely take the Shaolin version out, and then learn from Old Man Jin, bragging that it was created by the ancestor of Bodhidharma and fooling Zhengde. Then tell the story of Bodhidharma Ancestor "crossing the river with a reed" and other nonsense to fool the bear child, so that he has the motivation to practice.
As for whether he can practice it, Ma Lin will not say death, but will say, "It is easy to learn and difficult to practice, and only a few eminent monks have learned it for hundreds of years...... Only a genius with a clear bone can learn to ......"
In this way, one day in the future, if the bear child finds that he has not become a martial arts master, he will be able to shirk his responsibility......
……
After Liu Jin adopted Rat Xiucai's suggestion, he immediately returned to the palace and asked for the Zhongzhi from Zhengde. However, Liu Jin was very scheming, and did not immediately send someone to the Ministry of Rites to ask for guns, but after gathering good manpower, he waited until the next morning to do it......
Why? Because there was an early morning the next morning! Mao Cheng, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, must be going to the court. Even, the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites had to participate in the early dynasty.
When the bigwigs of the Ministry of Rites have gone to the court, it will be convenient for Liu Jin to do it!
At this time, Liu Jin has not been able to cover the sky with one hand, and in the face of Mao Cheng's old stubbornness, he is also a little weak. Therefore, when Mao Cheng took the servants to the court, and there was no big man in the Ministry of Rites, it would be easy to do it. After all, there is no big man's etiquette department, but he has no confidence to dismiss the decree. And if Mao Cheng was in the Ministry of Rites, he would have enough confidence to dismiss the emperor's decree. Therefore, Liu Jincai chose the time when Mao Cheng took the bigwigs of the Ministry of Rites to the early court.
Early the next morning, while Mao Cheng and other bigwigs of the Ministry of Rites went to the morning court, Liu Jin sent a large group of Jinyi guards and Dongchang Fanzi to break into the Ministry of Rites, read out the decree, and asked for the guns offered by the Beihai Kingdom.
At this time, there are only three or two kittens left in the Ministry of Rites, where is the confidence to resist? However, as an old official oil, although Lang Zhong, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites on duty, did not dare to reject the decree, he planned to delay it and delay it until Mao Cheng returned.
However, Liu Jin had already calculated that these officials would do this. Therefore, after reading out the decree, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang fans went directly to the treasury of the Ministry of Rites. Facing the iron lock of the warehouse, General Jinyi Wei Dahan picked up a sledgehammer......
When Mao Cheng returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites from the early dynasty with a helper, Liu Jin's men had already taken the guns away. At the same time, there were also several military men sent by the Guangzhou avant-garde to demonstrate the operation methods of the Franc cannon and arquebus......
In fact, these soldiers had not been given the opportunity to show the court how to use guns, and they were already planning to go home. If Liu Jin had been so late for two or three days, I am afraid that these people would have already set off for the south......
It just so happened that they hadn't left yet, and they were living in the Siyi Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites. So, Jin Yiwei and the Dongchang fans took them away directly.
"Eunuchs deceive people too much! The old man wants to take a copy of him! ”
Knowing that Liu Jin sent someone to snatch the guns while he was away, Mao Cheng was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded. Mao Shangshu regrets it now - why didn't he dispose of these guns as scrap copper and scrap iron earlier......
However, Liu Jin was not worried at all. Why? Because he acted on the emperor's orders, he couldn't find fault with it in law. If you really want to say that there is any problem, it is probably just not to give Mao Cheng face......
However, Liu Jin really didn't care about Mao Cheng's face. Liu Jian and Xie Qian are amazing, right? The two auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are both honored as "cabinet elders" outside. They all failed to kill Liu Jin together, let alone a Mao Cheng?
Moreover, Liu Jin was ordered by order, which is not unfounded. In addition, Wang Wei and Mao Cheng are not all the way in this matter, so even if Mao Cheng impeaches himself, Gonggong Liu also said that there is no pressure on our family......
