Chapter 264: The Emperor's Pink Eye
In fact, for Wang Yongji, the actual role of the scholar of Wenhuadian is not much, he still does the business of his tax department, but his status is not the same.
Just like in later generations, the secretary of the Politburo and the secretary of the Politburo are fundamentally different things.
Zhu Yijun could also understand the excitement in Wang Yongji's heart, and quietly waited for him to calm down, before he spoke: "This time, I have an important matter for Aiqing to do. ”
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" Wang Yongji hurriedly bowed down and said.
I just received a generous reward, so naturally I have to do something, and Wang Yongji is not surprised at all.
"I'm going to build a royal city on the western outskirts of the capital, and Aiqing must know about it, right?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji, and then said directly: "This matter is related to this. ”
How could Wang Yongji not know about this matter, and hurriedly nodded and said, "The minister knows." ”
The imperial court opened the ban on the feudal domain is a big strategy, everyone knows that this is a big thing, and they also know that this is a great merit, but no one wants to get involved, after all, none of those vassal kings and nobles are easy to mess with.
"That's good!" Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said: "I sent someone to investigate a few days ago, and the western suburbs have almost been occupied. ”
The western suburbs of the capital, Wang Yongji knows, there is a good place in the capital, there are mountains and rivers, it was originally a deserted place, but it is a beautiful scenery.
There is Yuquan Mountain, which specializes in supplying water to the royal family, and Xiangshan, which is definitely a good place.
Originally, it was not valued by the nobles, after all, everyone's life has not been good over the years, but it is valued by the temple. Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, built the Zhaohua Temple here, and during the Yingzong period, there were the upper and lower Huayan Temples and so on.
There are many large and small temples, and it can be said that the capital is a place where incense flourishes.
In recent years, the life of the nobles and relatives has been better, and the officials and businessmen from all over the country have gathered in the capital, these people like gardens, and the beautiful scenery in the western suburbs has naturally become a fragrant bait in the eyes of these people.
So everyone began to enclose the land to build a garden, and the entire western suburbs began to be full of gardens.
One of the most famous is the former Wuqing Bo Li Wei built the Qinghua Garden, which is praised, after the completion of the first round in the capital, covering an extremely wide area, plus willing to spend silver, the construction of magnificent.
Originally, when Wang Yongji learned that the emperor was going to build a royal city in the western suburbs, he knew that the emperor was looking at these people unpleasantly. Now listening to what the emperor said, Wang Yongji knew that these people in the western suburbs were afraid that they would be unlucky.
As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yongji knows a lot about the Son of Heaven in his family.
He doesn't pay much attention to antiques and treasures, and his life is very simple on weekdays, but this emperor is very cautious. I never had it, but you actually have it?
The emperor eats four dishes and one soup at a meal, and the people in the harem are also regulated.
Now the emperor didn't say anything about building a garden in the western suburbs, how dare you people build a garden there? It's a heinous sin. In Wang Yongji's view, this son of heaven in his own family is guilty of pink eye.
But he didn't dare to say it, he could only think about it in his heart.
Zhu Yijun didn't know that this close minister of his thought about himself like this, otherwise he would have dragged him down and cut him down, I have been seen by you all about pink eye, how can I mix it?
The western suburbs sound inconspicuous, but if you listen to the place name, Yuquan Mountain and Xiangshan will not be said, where the famous Summer Palace will be in later generations, Haidian District and Shijingshan District and Fengtai District.
In the future generations, what land price and what house price are there, and now they are forcibly occupied by these corpse vegetarian people, can this be endured? It is absolutely unbearable, and it must be cleaned up.
After learning about the situation in the western suburbs, Zhu Yijun knew that this wave was stable.
I invested in the early stage of building CBD in the western suburbs, and someone paid for myself.
Glancing at Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun said directly: "I am going to set up a Western Suburbs Imperial City Preparation Division, which is a temporary yamen, led by Aiqing, and the manpower of the Yamen such as Tianfu, Hubu and Duchayuan will be transferred. ”
"Thoroughly investigate the land occupied in the western suburbs, and all illegal construction." Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun paused, thought for a while, and then changed to a term that Wang Yongji could understand: "All privately built manor temples must be dealt with." ”
"The imperial court has a law, but whenever the land is cultivated, the court gives the title deed, but it is the wasteland that is cultivated, and they are allowed to grow crops, who let them build a manor?"
"Thoroughly inspect all the fields and mountains in the western suburbs, register them, and reclaim the fields, and if there is no land deed, the land deed will be granted."
"Those who build manors on land are all treated according to the land used for construction, and the land in the western suburbs is subject to a land classification system. No manor house can be built on cultivated land, and if it has already been built, in addition to a fine, a purchase price for the land used for construction must be paid. ”
"If you don't pay the money, all the manors will be confiscated, no matter who it is, you can start with Wuqingbo's Mansion first."
The sweat of the king is coming down, the emperor is too ruthless, it seems that those people in the western suburbs really stimulated the emperor a lot! This is pink eye, this heart is red.
As for what kind of land reclamation is granted, this can only be said.
The last time the fields were checked, the officials and gentry paid the grain in one piece, and the fields were all registered, where there was any land obtained from the reclamation of wasteland, and the emperor gave them a hat.
Occupying land to build a manor and indulging in lust will inevitably be despised by the world.
This kind of behavior is simply outrageous, this is to occupy the high ground of public opinion and cover for the policies that follow!
The act of collecting money in the back is no different from robbery, but the emperor can still tell the truth, you can recognize it, and you have to recognize it if you don't recognize it. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, is it talking?
From Wuqing Bofu, that is to do it for others to see.
Although Wu Qingbo Li Wei is dead, the Empress Dowager Li is still alive, directly from the Empress Dowager's mother's family, and slashed at her uncle, the emperor is showing his determination.
I even cleaned up my uncle's house, which of you dares to jump?
"By the way, all the gardens of the eunuchs' homes, let the Department of Law and Discipline and the Department of Corruption investigate, our officials in the Ming Dynasty have reached this point? I can actually build a garden in the western suburbs, but I don't have a summer resort yet. ”
As soon as Wang Yongji heard this, he immediately shrank his neck, you see, I will say that the emperor has pink eye!
Thinking in his heart, Wang Yongji felt that this was an opportunity to let someone build a garden for the emperor in the western suburbs. The emperor definitely wants it, but he can't say it, his body is very honest, but his mouth is hard, and he has to find a step for the emperor.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Yongji's eyes lit up, and there was.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a palace should be built in the western suburbs." Wang Yongji said with a serious face: "In the western suburbs of the imperial city, the vassal royal family is housed, and His Majesty is the head of the royal family, of course, he should also have a place to live." ”
"Friendship with the same clan, showing kindness, the atmosphere in the palace is too solemn, and the ministers think it is inappropriate."
"To build a palace in the city of royalty in the western suburbs, the minister thinks it is extremely appropriate, which can show His Majesty's dear vassal royal family and not make him feel cold, so that his Majesty should build a palace in the western suburbs."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji in surprise, but he really didn't expect Wang Yongji to have this side.
However, seeing Wang Yongji's serious and serious appearance made Zhu Yijun have a deep feeling, as long as he looks for it in this world, he will definitely be able to find a valid reason.
Wang Yongji's justification is really good, and no one dares to object to it.
Whoever objects, go up directly is a sentence of "You want to separate the family of the heavenly family", no one dares to wear this big hat. Whether to really build a garden, Zhu Yijun is really hesitant.
In Zhu Yijun's heart, he actually didn't want to repair, so he spent money and food, and kept his money to fight north.
Second, to build a garden, may leave a bad start for the Ming Dynasty, all say that the Ming Emperor is extravagant, in fact, there is a Ming generation, there are few emperors who build a lot of buildings, and the poor pants are lost.
The only one who has cultivated more, that is, Emperor Jiajing, has caught fire several times in alchemy, and at most it is to rebuild a palace.
And then what?
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was scolded over and over again, but if you look at the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, which one is not keen on cultivating gardens? Chengde Summer Resort, Summer Palace, and Old Summer Palace are all repaired from generation to generation.
Collect the world's treasures, all placed in the garden, for your own enjoyment.
No one mentioned this matter, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who were about to lose their poor pants were all buttoned up with an extravagant hat and couldn't take them off. To put it bluntly, you still have a bad relationship with the civil officials, plus you are loyal to the new master, and you don't explode the black material of the Ming Dynasty emperor, you are embarrassed to say that you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism was specially written, and he did not see the Qing Dynasty literary prison nailed to the pillar of shame.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help sighing, some of which he couldn't say, but what Wang Yongji said was quite reasonable. Building a palace in the royal city by yourself can indeed show your closeness to the royal family.
Although everyone has not met in several lifetimes, this era pays attention to this, and as an emperor, he should be an example.
Another very important point is that it is a city of royalty, without the emperor's palace, and I always feel that something is missing. If you go, you will definitely be able to raise the royal city to a higher level.
Another advantage is that after having the palace, you can garrison the army.
If it is only a royal city, if you have a heavy army here, I am afraid that you will be dissatisfied, but under the banner of guarding the palace, it will be justified. Although everyone can see what is going on, people in this era eat this set.
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Let's discuss this matter again!" ”
Wang Yongji did not admonish, but bowed down and said, "The minister retires!" ”
Although Wang Yongji's organization of the Imperial City Preparation Division in the western suburbs had a great impact, it did not cause an uproar in the capital, after all, it had not yet started, and it was just a matter of transferring manpower.
On the contrary, it was the case of the household servant, which once again frightened the hundreds of officials in the capital.
After the investigation of the Department of Law and Discipline was completed, the case was finalized in Dali Temple, and then the criminal department sentenced it, this time there was no nonsense, the criminal department directly set the sentence of hanging, and a large number of officials were hanged again.
The family property is confiscated, and the whole family is allocated, such a heavy sentence is really scary to death.
Although this matter is scary, everyone is still mentally prepared, after all, there was the case of Zhao Deqian, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and this case can be regarded as a precedent to support, but what happened next is not calm.
Zhao Lian is the official in charge of the Department of Law and Discipline, and everyone was waiting to see what he did, but the Department of Law and Discipline broke out again.
The squire of the criminal department is corrupt and perverts the bill!
As soon as this case came out, the officials in the capital were completely furious, you guys are not done yet, are you?
First the servant of the ministry, then the servant of the household department, and now the servant of the criminal department, in every case, a large number of officials were sentenced to hanging, confiscated family property, and the whole family was distributed.
So these three squires are finished, whose turn is it? Isn't that us?
Who isn't afraid of this?
For a time, public opinion in the capital was turbulent, and the officials were frightened, and they were shocked three times a day, and many people began to run in tandem, and even went directly to the resignation letter.
It's not okay to impeach the Department of Law and Discipline in a book, people are just investigating the case, and if you are corrupt, it's normal for people to investigate you.
On the side of Dali Temple, there is nothing to blame, it is just a verdict, as for the criminal department, there is nothing to say, people are just sentencing according to the law of Daming. The ministers wanted to impeach, but they didn't know where to start for a while.
Of course, there are still smart people in the world.
Soon someone found out that what everyone was afraid of was not the investigation by the Department of Law and Discipline, nor the trial of Dali Temple, or the sentencing of the Criminal Department. What everyone is afraid of is the Da Ming Law, which is too ruthless.
The officials were frightened, the court was unstable, and the first thing to feel was the cabinet. It's just that several scholars in the cabinet really don't have any good solutions, and the last time the emperor was angry because the sentence of the criminal department was too light, the emperor's words are still in his ears.
The emperor also ordered all yamen to strictly follow the Ming law.
Now go to the emperor to intercede, isn't this the face of the emperor? How can the government change its orders overnight?
Now that a major case has broken out in the Criminal Department, Xu Xuemo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has angered His Majesty again, and it is estimated that this time it will be difficult to escape, so he will go home directly. Now go and get this annoying emperor, there will be good fruits to eat?
The upward movement could not advise the emperor, and the downward level could not appease the hundred officials, and the pressure on the cabinet increased sharply.
Cabinet duty room.
Shen Shixing put down the teacup in his hand and sighed: "The situation is difficult, do you have a good plan?" ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, this matter is not easy to do, it seems that the only way is to persuade the emperor, but how can the emperor be so easy to advise, if you don't get it, the emperor will be angry.
Today is different from the past, the emperor's authority is getting heavier and more powerful, and it is easy to get into trouble by acting like this.
But if you don't advise the emperor, will you sit and watch the erosion of the court? Now the officials are panicked, and some people have already begun to resign. Inside and outside the court, no matter how big or small the official position is, which official hat is not something you can fight for.
Now someone has begun to resign, although the resignation is weak-minded, and it is extremely stupid, how can it not be suspected of resigning at this time, but this represents a trend.
"This is the performance of the Five Cities Imperial Shi Hai Rui, praising the Law and Discipline Division." Shen Shixing held a fold in his hand and said lightly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly their expressions were different, this Hai Rui is dying of old age, and he still hasn't stopped, isn't this messy enough?
