Chapter 65: The Warrior
The news that the imperial court was going to implement Yangshi silver spread quickly, and this time it completely caused an uproar.
Originally, this was just a policy discussed by the imperial court, but now that this policy has been implemented, many people can't sit still. For a while, public opinion was overwhelming, and many people began to play and fold, and there were many people who were arguing for their feelings.
However, the imperial court is generally stable, Zhang Siwei sits in the cabinet, and the two of them cooperate well with Chen Wei, and the cabinet is obviously not in trouble.
Shen Shixing is not the kind of hard-topped emperor's character, otherwise he would not have watched Zhang Siwei make a move on the Zhang family in his previous life. In fact, his opposition is more symbolic, and the statements of politicians are often impossible to say.
Shen Shixing has already expressed his attitude before, and Shen Shixing will naturally not care about other things, and it will be okay when the attitude arrives.
After Zhu Yijun announced the establishment of the Daming Taxation Department, the first Shangshu to announce his support was Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, and the benefits were greater.
Originally, the emperor cut the military department, which made the life of the six Shangshu not easy.
But now there is a tax department, which has definitely greatly strengthened the authority of the household department, and at the same time, there are many more official positions. This made many people start to gear up, especially those who support Zhang Siwei.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is Sun Piyang's resignation!" Saying that, Zhu Yijun shook the music fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "I ran to Hejian Mansion, and I resigned when I came back." ”
Wang Yongji was stunned, he didn't expect Sun Piyang to resign.
"Some people cherish their feathers more than anything else, and they usually talk about their family and country, but they really let him do something, either looking ahead and backwards, or they are afraid of hurting their feathers."
Wang Yongji was silent, he could understand why Sun Piyang resigned, and he knew that what the emperor said was true, but he couldn't say anything!
"When you were in Nanjing, you were the head of the household department, this time the errand of Hejian Mansion was done well, come to the capital to be the head of the household department!" Zhu Yijun put down the fold in his hand and said with a smile: "I am in charge of the newly established tax department for me." ”
Wang Yongji was stunned for a moment, and put himself in charge of the tax department? This yamen has been making a lot of trouble these days, but Wang Yongji didn't expect it to make trouble on his head.
Let yourself be in charge of the tax department, this yamen is not easy to do!
However, Wang Yongji also instantly remembered what the emperor had just said, and this implication was really obvious enough.
"Thanksgiving!"
At this point, Wang Yongji also knew what to do, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The minister must do his best to manage the tax department for His Majesty!" ”
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, let someone take you to the tax department in a few days to have a look." ”
Wang Yongji walked out of the palace in a daze, with a hint of hesitation on his face, go to the tax department to take a look? Isn't it your own? The emperor has already set up the tax department? Thinking of this, Wang Yongji couldn't help but beat a spirit.
This reminded him of this trip to Hejian Mansion, the mysterious inner factory, and it was the inner factory that made Wang Yongji more afraid of Zhu Yijun.
As soon as he walked out a few steps, Wang Yongji heard someone behind him calling him, he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, Wang Yongji found that it was Zhang Whale. This factory father of the East Factory, Wang Yongji naturally knows him.
This time he went to Hejian Mansion, Wang Yongji also saw his methods, this is a person who is not easy to mess with.
"Lord Wang, our family will send you out!" Zhang Jing looked at Wang Yongji with a smile, pulled him and said.
Wang Yongji was stunned, so polite?
Although he sat in the position of the household servant and mastered the tax department, Wang Yongji didn't think that Zhang Whale needed to tie himself up. With Zhang Whale's current power, there are few people he needs to tie up in Daming.
"Lord Wang, there are some things that shouldn't be said by our family, but our family is uncomfortable in our hearts."
"Does Lord Wang know when our family met Lord Wang?"
Wang Yongji was stunned, where did this start?
Shaking his head, Wang Yongji said, "I don't know, please teach my father-in-law." ”
"That was a few years ago!" Zhang Whale said with some embarrassment: "At that time, Lord Wang was still a member of the household department, and our family didn't know Lord Wang's name, but one day the emperor asked me to check Lord Wang." ”
"Our family still thinks that Lord Wang has something wrong, and the emperor wants Dongchang to investigate."
Listening to Zhang Whale's words, Wang Yongji's heart chuckled, is there still such a thing? Have you been checked by Dongchang?
"But the emperor said, let our family check Lord Wang, start from Lord Wang's hometown, the experience along the way, the official reputation of the official, all have to be checked, and our family doesn't understand why at first."
"Our family went to check according to the emperor's instructions, and it turned out that Lord Wang has few ambitions, and he is also honest and capable as an official."
"Soon after, Lord Wang was transferred to Nanjing, and he was also promoted to Langzhong." Speaking of this, Zhang Whale said with some emotion: "At that time, the emperor and our family said, 'Wang Yongji is a talent and should not be wasted in the chaos of the capital'. ”
"Our family didn't understand at the time, but later there were a lot of things in the capital, and they disturbed one after another, and our family gradually understood that the emperor was protecting Lord Wang."
Wang Yongji was stunned, he was suddenly transferred to Nanjing for promotion, this is a mystery in his heart for a long time, Wang Yongji never thought that it would be suddenly solved on this day, let alone the truth of the matter.
"During the years when Lord Wang was in Nanjing, the emperor has always paid close attention to Lord Wang, and the emperor wants to see if Lord Wang will be silent in Nanjing's drunken gold fans."
"But Lord Wang didn't disappoint the emperor, so after two years, Lord Wang was promoted to the head of the household department in Nanjing."
Wang Yongji's heart churned, he didn't expect that he would enter the emperor's eyes so early, and he was also promoted and reused by the emperor. I don't know why, Wang Yongji felt a little hot in his heart.
"After Zhang Ge got old, the emperor thought about transferring Lord Wang back."
Wang Yongji understood this sentence, no wonder the emperor would let him go to Nanjing, and the emotional problem was Zhang Juzheng. Thinking that he wrote to impeach Zhang Juzheng, not only was he not reprimanded, but he was promoted, it turned out that His Majesty was supporting him.
"It just so happened that there was a salt case in Hejian Mansion, and the emperor transferred Lord Wang to investigate the salt case."
"In fact, our family knows that it is mainly Cao Yikui and Lord Cao who investigated the salt case, and Lord Wang mainly made meritorious contributions in the past this time. The emperor wants to use this credit to leave Lord Wang in the capital for reuse. ”
"Lord Wang, our family is saying this just to tell Lord Wang, the emperor values Lord Wang very much."
Wang Yongji glanced back at the direction of the Qianqing Palace, although he only saw the palace, Wang Yongji still felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at him. After saluting the Qianqing Palace, Wang Yongji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him as a national soldier." ”
"Lord Wang, our family is talking to you about this, just to tell you that the emperor values important people very much."
"The tax department is a matter that the emperor attaches great importance to, and please do more for the sake of the emperor's important people. Those of us who are slaves are very distressed to watch the emperor work for the Ming Dynasty all day long. ”
"The emperor said that the tax department is completed, so Daming is expected to be prosperous."
"The emperor pinned the hope of ZTE on the tax department, and handed over the tax department to the adult, which shows the importance of the emperor to the adult. Those of us who are slaves and maids can't help in this matter, but Lord Wang can let people come to our house at any time whenever they are useful to our house or Dongchang. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, our family will do our best."
Wang Yongji glanced at Zhang Whale, bowed down and said, "Father-in-law is righteous, Wang remembers it in his heart!" ”
Zhang Whale's promise is very important to Wang Yongji, he naturally wants to express his gratitude, not to mention anything else, there is a person next to the emperor who speaks for himself, it is amazing, not to mention that this person is still Zhang Whale.
Compared with himself, Zhang Juzheng also had to make friends with the chamberlain in the palace back then, which shows the power of the chamberlain.
"Lord Wang, our family will send you here!" Zhang Jing looked at the front and said with a smile: "If Lord Wang has something to find our family, you can go to Zhang Xun, he is our cousin, and he will tell our family." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Wang Yongji nodded, turned around and walked outside.
Seeing Wang Yongji disappear, Zhang Whale turned around and returned to Qianqing Palace, seeing Zhu Yijun standing there, Zhang Whale hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "Emperor, the old slave has already told Lord Wang." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, didn't say anything, sometimes you do something, you have to let the other party know!
Especially in this era, he pays attention to the grace of knowledge, and his importance to Wang Yongji can make him do things for himself wholeheartedly. The tax department is so important, Zhu Yijun doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake!
"The tax department is decided, and the next thing is the salt department!" Zhu Yijun muttered.
But now is not the time to push the Salt Division, he is waiting, waiting for Zhang Siwei to fall, waiting for Shen Shixing to come to power. Once the salt business is investigated, Zhang Siwei will inevitably be involved, after all, the Zhang family is the top salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Siwei is a hindrance from it, I'm afraid it will become very troublesome, and you can't mess up at this time!
"Emperor, Lord Xu asks to see you!" Zhang Whale got a report from a little eunuch, walked to Zhu Yijun's side and said.
Xu Wenchang is here?
Zhu Yijun was stunned, what did Xu Wenchang do? During this time, Xu Wenchang has been hiding, making it clear that he doesn't want to get involved, why did he take the initiative to come this time?
"Let him in!"
Although I don't know what Xu Wenchang is doing, Zhu Yijun estimates that there must be something, and it is definitely not for no reason.
After a short time, Xu Wenchang walked in from the outside, the expression on his face was very serious, and after saluting Zhu Yijun, he asked directly: "Your Majesty, does the Tax Department collect taxes from all over the world?" The emperor wants to implement Yangshi silver in the world? ”
