As we all know, the permanent dynasty of the national dynasty has degenerated into formalism. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info pick a few things to answer a few words, just go through the process.

What really deals with government affairs is the imperial deliberations presided over by the Son of Heaven. For example, today in the Wuying Palace. There are also methods such as courts, court discussions, and small-scale summoning of ministers to discuss matters.

The ministers who are qualified to participate in the deliberations of the Wuying Palace, to put it simply: they are more than 40 officials (Central Committee) who are qualified to participate in the court meeting, plus close ministers of the Son of Heaven, such as: Hanlin Cichen, Xungui Wuchen. and the parties to the incident.

Today's deliberations are related to the direction of the political situation of the imperial court in the coming period, and the officials who are qualified to come to the Wuying Palace are basically present. Nearly a hundred.

After Xu Yan read out the decision of the Son of Heaven, after a short period of extreme silence, the atmosphere in Wuying Hall seemed to gradually ease. Many people's eyes fell on Zhao Junbo in the imperial history phalanx. Meaningful.

Zhao Junbo's face was a little pale, and his body trembled slightly. Slowly walked out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his voice was a little dry, thinking back to so many years of his career in the sea, the scenery was no longer there, "The minister obeys the order." Before he played the chapter, he decided that he could get the "lottery head" this time. The general trend! However, reality gave him a slap in the face. The Son of Heaven's examination is very heavy.

Then, the remaining three imperial historians were also demoted. Like Zhao Junbo, he was invited out of the Wuying Palace, and his figure was down.

Yu Wenrui, the head of Henan Province, looked coldly at his colleagues who were expelled. Zhao Junbo is a celebrity in the imperial history. Always respond to all calls. However, this time, it was cannon fodder. It is estimated that there is no prospect for official career.

What is the general trend? The Son of Heaven is sluggish in government, and he wants to rule the country with scholars, which is the biggest trend of the imperial court. However, many people have limited information and do not see clearly. He was friendly with Jiafu. A few days ago, when I sent the draft of Pravda, I chatted with Jia Huan.

The Son of Yongzhi cleanly dealt with the four imperial historians who provoked trouble, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Zhuqing, what else do you want to play?" ”

The head of the household, Shangshu Weihong, came out and said: "This year, the Yellow River is flooded, and the embankment in northern Jiangsu has burst, and the governor of Huaiyang, Sha Shengzuo, has asked for 2 million taels of taxes in northern Jiangsu. ”

"Exactly."

The Son of Yongzhi said to He Shuo: "I have sent Lu Yanxin to govern the Yellow River, and the Yellow River has suffered less in recent years, but it is still a great disaster. He Qing, you keep an eye on it. The Ministry of Industry should deal with the matter of cleaning up the world's rivers as soon as possible. ”

He Shuo came out of the ranks, bowed and saluted, his face was calm, "The minister obeys the order!" "It seems that the devastating political victory that has just been achieved is not worth mentioning!

After Scholar He finished answering, Bai Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came out of the list, and said with a bitter face: "The minister obeys the order." It's just that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. The imperial court used troops for many years, the financial resources were exhausted, and the affairs of the rivers..., except for the Yellow River, the tributaries were difficult to sustain. ”

Yongzhi Tianzi did not speak. He naturally knew about the depletion of the imperial court's finances. The construction of water conservancy is originally very costly in terms of money and labor, and it costs people and money. He Shuo folded it to him.

At this time, Wei Qihou, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the prince of the nine provinces has been inspected, and the grassland barbarians seem to have made a move, so please use troops." It is planned to garrison Yulin with the elite troops of the four battalions of the Beijing battalion who have returned from the Western Regions. Wait for the opportunity. The minister does not dare to be specialized, please show it to His Majesty. ”

King Beijing suddenly groaned.

Wei Qihou has bad intentions. The new Wuxun group is obviously unwilling to watch Wang Ziteng make new contributions on the nine sides. Deliberately talking about the financial difficulties of the imperial court. Otherwise, with Niu Jizong's contribution to pacifying the Western Regions after returning to the dynasty, coupled with the influence and subtraction of the Marquis of Xiangyang and Ruyang's participation in the prince's rebellion, the old Wuxun group will comprehensively suppress the new Wuxun group.

Yongzhi Tianzi frowned and did not speak.

…

…

When the major affairs of the imperial court are discussed in detail, there are actually only a few things: tax collection, disaster relief, local governance, and military affairs.

And after the impeachment of He Shuo by the imperial history was clearly supported by the Son of Heaven, who of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not see the direction of the wind? A seemingly surging tide that caused a war between the DPRK was annihilated. What are the gains and losses, only the individual knows in his heart.

Political struggles sometimes seem to be urgent, and sometimes they seem to be calm. How to understand it depends on each person.

The Wuyingdian deliberations ended at about 11 a.m., and the Emperor of Yongzhi left three scholars to speak to discuss the problems he had just encountered at the court meeting: the lack of state finance and taxation to support the subsequent water conservancy projects, and the use of troops on the grassland.

Xu Yan, the chief eunuch, brought mung bean soup and seats to several scholars to cool off the heat.

The Son of Yongzhi stood high on the throne and said: "The grassland barbarians have always been a big trouble in the Central Plains. Our dynasty uses the tributary system to fetter on trade and mutual markets. There has been no war on the border for decades. The situation reported by the prince Teng made me worried. ”

The three scholars lowered their heads, weighing the words of the Son of Heaven in their hearts, and it was obvious that the Son of Heaven had the intention of expanding the border.

Liu Feibai thought about it, put the jade bowl on the tray, got up and admonished: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, the elite soldiers of the nine sides are enough to defend it. A little thief, what's the problem? Nowadays, it is dominated by sea trade. The grasslands of the north of the country, the bitter cold land, are useless. ”

From a cost point of view, this is extremely uneconomical.

Han University Scholar also met a few sentences. The steppe is wild, unsuitable for farming, and useless to take. In terms of armament, more than 100,000 elite soldiers on the nine sides are enough to protect border security.

Yongzhi Tianzi was a little disappointed and asked, "What does He Qing mean?" ”

He Shuo, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was born in Shandong, was tall, dressed in a scarlet robe, with an extraordinary bearing, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the nine sides to start a war without authorization. At least wait until the imperial court has digested the Western Regions and the homeland of the Pi Kingdom. Now, the treasury is insufficient, and the minister asks for a whip law. ”

The previous words of Scholar He were not right in the mind of the Son of Heaven, but they were indeed the words of Lao Cheng Mouguo. The border generals want military merits, but Zaifu has to see if there is money in the treasury. If there is no money, the people in the Central Plains will suffer.

However, the last sentence made the atmosphere in the entire Wuying Hall almost freeze. A whip!

The famous whip method came from Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. It is an important part of Zhang Juzheng's reform. However, Zhang Juzheng died, and in the last years of Wanli, a whip law existed in name only. Zhou Jiming system, when the founding of the country was established, all kinds of waste were prosperous, and the taxation was mainly based on silver and kind.

The pros and cons of a whip law have been settled for nearly a hundred years. The benefits go without saying. The imperial court can save the cost of tax collection, improve efficiency, and increase tax revenue. However, the disadvantages are also obvious: the problems of increasing allocation, fire consumption, and silver and grain are always difficult to solve.

Yongzhi Tianzi was slightly stunned. Is this the situation in the world?

A whip law has a strong sense of reform. The political significance is too strong. But in fact, the country is not unsustainable. On the contrary, it is at the top. The thirteenth year of Yongzhi's tax and silver income was 32 million taels. It's just that the imperial court spends too much.

Liu and Han were unanimous in their opposition, "It's not appropriate. ”

Han Run, a university scholar, said bluntly: "I think it's impossible." The imperial court lacked taxes, so the town was quiet, and various expenses were exempted and reduced. How can it give officials and businessmen the opportunity to exploit the small people? ”

In the Wuying Palace, not long ago, the tide of the court dispute that had only subsided among the ministers was instantaneous, and the situation became turbulent because of the disagreement of the three scholars.

Xu Yan, the chief eunuch, stood aside, the corners of his mouth twitching. It's really a twist and turn!

The night was getting darker. In the garden of Prince Shun's palace, insects and frogs chirp by the pond. In the water pavilion, King Ning Pai of Jin and Prince Shun had a drink and had a secret conversation.
