Chapter 198: The First Sight of the Monarch and the Minister
Jingri said angrily! "Qiu doesn't know which Xiucai wrote the book. The price of mung beans in the small town of Gouqi has skyrocketed, and grain merchants are hoarding, and on such a hot day, ordinary people can't afford to drink a bowl of mung bean soup. β
Sun Dan was ashamed in his heart. That's when I realized that I didn't do it right.
After settling down, he glanced at the old man again, "I also asked the old man for his name, seeing that you are not lightly ill, why did you come to the capital?" βοΌ
The old man gasped a few times and began to cough again. Nan Nan saw that she was distressed, so she hurriedly wrung a towel over, wiped the sweat on her forehead for her father, and said: "It's not light, it's hot a few days ago, and my father couldn't stand the heat, so he hit the well water to wipe his body, and as a result, he got cold, and he was sick for several days." β
Sun Dan hurriedly asked them why they didn't go to Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine.
Before she could answer, the old man said ashamedly, "I can't afford to eat, so what kind of doctor do I see." When the poor family is sick, it is good to get some sleep. "But you've been sleeping for so many days, why aren't you getting better?" I still have to find Lang Zhong to prescribe a few doses of medicine. Sun Dan took out a key piece of silver from his arms and handed it over.
The old man was naturally grateful, and when the coughing stopped, he said: "The little old man's surname is Zhang Ming, and this is the little girl Zhang Qiangrose."
After getting Sun Dan's silver tael, Zhang Qiangrose had a smile on her face and was about to thank her. Zhang Youcai sighed and said, "It's still a little old man, I knew that I would be like this when I entered Beijing, so I stayed in Gaotang honestly." β
Sun Dan: "Don't worry, old man, tell me what's going on, how did you know Brother Ping." β
As soon as he talked about Pingqiuli, Zhang Youcai was angry. He said angrily: "I didn't know Master Ping before. Talking to the little girl that day. Master Ping is also a kind person, asked Xiao Lao'er who else was in the family, and asked me if I knew a woman named Zhang Mo. β
Sun Dan wondered in his heart: "Who is Zhang Mo?" β
Zhang Youcai replied: "Zhang Mo is my brother's daughter, and I am not afraid of Mr. Sun's jokes when I say it." My brother had also studied for a few days, and he was famous. However, because he died early, his family fell into the middle of the road. And my niece was elected to the palace the year before last, saying that she was assigned to King An Luxing, and I don't know what the situation is now. β
Sun Dan was excited, and said secretly: This thing is really a bit evil. Could it be that this Zhang Moth became Zhu Hou's wife. So to speak. Maybe she is still a concubine or something?
Sure enough, Zhang Youcai continued: "Master Naping came to ask for a long time, and then he nodded with satisfaction. said that my niece is now married to a rich family and has become very rich. He also said that he could lead us to meet her, and the family would be reunited. Originally, Xiao Lao'er still had some doubts in his heart. But when you think about it, Mr. Ping is one. Lift people, sir. And the situation at home is not good, he is willing to pay for the journey, and the little girl doesn't know what the ghost is confused about, and she clamos to come to the capital to see her sister Xiao Lao'er thought about it, and came to see it, so she came with Mr. Ping. After arriving in the capital, Mr. Ping threw our father and daughter here, and the figure disappeared. These days can make our father and daughter miserable, the price of goods in the capital is very expensive, and the little money on us is decreasing day by day. If Mr. Ping doesn't come again, I'm afraid that my father and daughter will end up on the streets. β
Nan Nan interjected: "Mr. Ping will never ignore us, I believe him." At this point, she became a little angry and looked at her father angrily.
Sun Dan touched his chin, and vaguely understood what Ping Qiuli wanted to do. If you guessed correctly, this father and daughter should be relatives of an imperial concubine. Pingqiuli is now poor, and now he has a relative in his hand, which should be trying to turn over.
This kid is really a good person, even the father and daughter of the Zhang family can be found.
Well, let's see what he wants to do.
Since the fall of King Jianghua. The group of people in Qingzhou also sold birds. But because the battle between Anlu and Qingzhou for the succession was really not on the table, for the sake of the dignity of the heavenly family, after succeeding to the throne, the emperor did not hold these people accountable, so he let them go.
However, even so, the future of King Jianghua's staff like Pingqiuli was ruined.
With a high-minded and arrogant person like Pingqiu. We will never be lost in the smoke and dust of history. Then, it is imperative to change the court.
If you can climb to the top of the royal family, there may be a possibility of turning over.
This guy is indeed a character, and he actually fascinated this Zhang Qiangrose. In the dignified autumn, such a method was actually used. It's kind of interesting.
However, Sun Dan was immediately surprised: Could it be that this Zhang Qiangrose is the family of Queen Zhang, the second queen of Zhu Hou's daughter-in-law. Yes, definitely. Concubine Zhang is also from the Tang Dynasty, "If so." The problem is serious, and Pingqiuli must not be allowed to succeed. Otherwise, there is that extremely favored Concubine Zhang who speaks ill of my Sun Dan in front of the emperor all day long, but I am afraid that my life will not be so easy in the future.
Zhang Youcai sighed: "Nan, Mr. Ping is only afraid that he won't care about us, now." It's not that Mr. Sun's money is relied on, and only for his father can he afford to take medicine. Otherwise. It's really going to die in a foreign land. β
Zhang Qiangrose: "Mr. Sun is not also a friend of Mr. Ping, and he still relies on Mr. Ping's face." At this, she looked proud.
Sun Dan was speechless, he didn't expect his kindness. But the silver was taken out, but Zhang Qiangrose remembered... : Knowing the noon, why does reading sound so boring! Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt bored. got up and said goodbye, and said: "Wait a minute, if you need it, find the boss, and all the expenses will be credited to me." β
The father and daughter naturally have a thousand thanks.
Sun Dan was about to leave when he heard the innkeeper's voice outside: "Hey, hey, it's not for you to break in here." Do you know who lives in it? is either a master, or a famous talent. You don't look like you are reading people, I'm sorry, where are you going back and forth. The shop is full. Not received. β
After speaking, there was another loud slap, and then the innkeeper's voice was shocked and angry: "Why did you beat people?" Is there still Heavenly Reason, and is there still a royal law?
Sun Dan was funny when he heard it, this innkeeper was really down-zero, and he was slapped twice in the face of one day.
A sharp voice came: "Speaking in front of us, I am impatient to live a life, and I invite that scholar surnamed Sun to come out." My master wants to see him
The voice was sharp and favorable, typical of a eunuch's voice. Sun Dan was startled, and hurriedly walked out, and saw Huang Jin standing in the courtyard with two white-faced and beardless eunuchs.
All three dressed up as ordinary people.
Huang Jin frowned and looked at the livestock shed in the corner of the courtyard wall, pinching his nose with two fingers, obviously unable to bear the smell of livestock.
Sun Dan smiled: "The shopkeeper Huang is good." You're coming for me? β
Huang Jin saw that it was Sun Dan, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he changed into an affectionate appearance and stepped forward and smiled: "Why did Mr. Sun hide in such a place?" β
Sun Dan: "There is a lot of noise at home, so I will find a clean place to study." I'm going to try it. If you stay at home, what homework do you still study? You can find such a secret place, and talk in the house
Entering the house, Huang Jin said: "Dongchang wants to find someone, are you afraid that you won't find it?" β
Sun Dan: "That's too, you are the biggest snake in the capital, what's the matter, the East Factory is now under your control." What about Bi Yun? Good guy, Huang master, are you now the master of ceremonies? β
"No, now it's just a pen-writing eunuch Huang Jin didn't answer Dongchang and Bi Yun's matter, but only said: "Mr. Sun, you clean up." Come with me right away
Sun Dan: "Where to go?" β
Huang Jin lowered his voice and said, "My master wants to see you and wants to ask about something." β
Sun Dan's spirits perked up. The Emperor finally thought about seeing him. It seems that Jiajing has finally become familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China in the past two months, so he ordered himself to enter the palace and ask the right one. Now. The storm of the Great Rites Debate has not yet arrived. The emperor will not ask these questions, it is estimated that they are other courts.
He straightened his clothes: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Emperor Jiajing still lived in Xiyuan like Zhengde.
It's just that after the fire in Xiyuan, the leopard house burned down several rooms, and it was not easy to live in it anymore. So, Jiajing moved his office to Yuxi Palace. As far as Sun Dan knows, Jiajing has not moved his nest for decades in his reign. As a result, Yuxi Palace also became the decision-making center of the Ming Empire.
Familiar with the road, Sun Dan is familiar with Xiyuan, and he has been here many times before. Today, the place is still this place, but Zhengde is gone. Things are people, and they have changed the world, so that they have some emotion in their hearts.
When I entered the Yuxi Palace Retreat, I saw a handsome young man of fifteen years old wearing a Taoist robe sitting on a bright yellow pouf. And Wang Zhenren of Baiyun Temple stood aside.
This is the first time Sun Dan has seen Emperor Jiajing, and he hurriedly said: "Sun Dan, grass people, meet the Son of Heaven!" β
Huang Jin said: "No need to give a big salute, Your Majesty said that Mr. Sun is dressed in cloth and looks good, just stand and talk." β
His Majesty Xie straightened up and looked at the past.
Emperor Jiajing also raised his head and glanced at Sun Dan deeply, and then slowly stood up from the sitting: "Its government is sullen, its people are pure, its government is inspected, and its people are lacking!" is in a high position in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and only then does he know that being an emperor is the most boring and bitter thing in the world. Sun Qing, I've been waiting for you for a long time. "He" hula! He flicked off the sleeves of his robe: "You all stand down, and Sun Qing has something important to say." β
"Yes!" Huang Jin and Wang Li retreated.
As soon as the two men left, the room fell silent.
Jiajing only looked at Sun Dan intently with his eyes, but did not speak. And Sun Dan also looked back at the past calmly, and for a while, no one spoke, but it was a little cold.
After a long time, the corners of Jiajing's mouth curled slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "Mr. Sun's talent has been famous for a long time. These days stuffy in the palace, put the articles of the gentleman. Whether it is poetry and songs, there are eight strands of time. It's still romance, and I found all the drama jokes and read them again. Lian didn't expect Mr. to be so versatile, he can be said to be proficient in a hundred doors! If it weren't for your article, Lian would have really suffocated to death in the palace for the past two months. Fortunately, the court has been in place, but Mr. Zhao often enters the palace to speak
"Your Majesty's love for Xiaomin is just an ordinary scholar. Scribbling something, it's nothing.
The gentleman humbly glanced at this wise man he had never met before, and he was the first hero of the dragon. Jiajing was very satisfied. In Huang Jin's mouth. Sun Dan is a crazy man who is proud of his talents. See you today. But that's not the case.
Sun Dan's calmness and calmness made the emperor feel good. asked Sun Dan a few more questions. Sun Dan also answered all of them appropriately and appropriately.
After talking for a long time, the emperor became familiar with Sun Dan. And gradually let go,! Sun Qingren said that you are Dan Shuangguo has always wanted to edict you to enter the palace and ask. What should the United Nations do when it ascends to the throne? β
Sun Dan smiled slightly: "It's not what you should do first, Your Majesty should ask yourself." What's the biggest headache now. Headache doctor, foot pain doctor, go with your heart, it is naturally a matter of course
Jiajing held his forehead with his hand. said with a smile: "Sir's words are very meaningful and meaningful. Since his accession to the throne, everything has gone smoothly. I just feel that the government is a little chaotic, and it will take a while to sort it out. That's right. And one more thing. Now that the treasury is empty, after the funeral of Emperor Wuzong and the enthronement ceremony of Lian, the head of the alliance has no money. Listen to Lu Bing. Mr. Sun is a good financial manager. But I don't know what to do? β
Sun Dan didn't answer. Just ask:. The country's major policies are taken care of by the prime ministers who have their own cabinets. Presumably Yang Ran, they also figured out a way
Jiajing chucked slightly, "Yang Fu came here yesterday and said that now the treasury is empty, so we have to open up sources and reduce expenditure." He suggested that the joint government should first straighten out the administration of officials and streamline the organization in order to save money. Speaking of this, he waved his sleeves angrily: "When the United Nations was in Anlu before, I didn't know that there were so many officials in the country, and the total number has reached an astonishing 120,000. In the opinion of Yilian and Yang Fu, it would have no impact if 30,000 people were eliminated and only 90,000 were retained. There is also Nanjing, where there is an extra six. Is it necessary to keep that institution in that place, there must be a lot of people who eat there.
Sun Dan nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the corruption of the rule of officials, the causes and manifestations are several ways: one is that for a long time, officials have indulged in comfort. Accustomed to not doing things; There is also peeping into the cracks, that is, as the saying goes, going through the back door, and there is also selling fame and reputation and not doing practical things. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to be a wise ruler through the ages and make a difference, he must start from these places
"Yes, yes, yes. That's it. Jiajing was excited, and his young face was full of red light: "Yang Fu said the same thing yesterday, haha, it seems that the two of you want to go together." Sun Dan, I really didn't mistake you, you really have the talent to slaughter and assist."
Sun Dan was proud. But he shook his head: "Your Majesty, the current Ming Dynasty is in financial chaos. It's like a patient who has been sick for many years, and his body can already be in need, and if he is in a hurry to take strong medicine, he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it. Now, His Majesty Puden Dabao is going to make a big move on the institutions of the imperial court, but I am afraid that it will be inappropriate. β
"What's wrong, didn't you also say that you want to rectify the rule of officials? . Jiajing looked at Sun Dan strangely.
Sun Dan: "Sooner or later, the rule of officials will have to be rectified, but not now." Your Majesty has just ascended the throne for two months, and I am afraid that even the officials above the sixth grade in the capital will not be able to recognize all the officials.
Jiajing's face suddenly turned blue, and he suddenly grabbed a jade ruyi on the case and slammed it to the ground, shattering. roared angrily: "Damn, Lian almost fell for them." In this government, the Union is still black-eyed, and some people are shouting at the Federation to rectify the rule of officials, which is to let the Union be their knife. Offend people! More than 30,000 officials were laid off in one go. The families, protΓ©gΓ©s, and families of these officials added up to millions in the same year. In this way, will there not be millions of people who regard the alliance as a vengeance?
Yang Ting and his people can be slack, and their hearts can be punished! β
Sun Danxin said: It seems that this Jiajing is exactly the same as recorded in history, that is, he is a smart monarch, but he is also a narrow-minded and unrighteous person, and his mood fluctuates greatly.
He said quietly: "It's not that it can't be rectified, it's just that the time is not right." It's too early. β
"Yes, yes, yes, it's early, it's a little cut." Jiajing said yes again and again, but he was a little annoyed: "If you don't do this, what else is there to do?"
Sun Dan: "Yang Fu's idea is right, it is imperative to rectify the rule of officials, and it will be of great benefit to the country, the people and the king." It's just that rectifying the rule of officials is the means, and I think Yang Fu is also thinking about reforming the government and government, and wants to spend the difficulty of the empty treasury with His Majesty. Historically, reform has always started with economic reform. Yang Fu first rectified the rule of officials. Why is that? β
The emperor asked, "Why is that?" β
Sun Dan: . Yang Fu emphasized that the problems existing in officials and ministries should be fundamentally changed to fundamentally change the bad status quo. For example, appeasement from top to bottom, seeking no merit but no fault, gangsters, perfunctory past when the cabinet has any official documents, and so on. These must be reversed, and they must be banned. Then, it is necessary to rectify the rule of officials first, and then the reform can be carried out. It's a pity that yes, Fu-sama's heart is too eager and anxious. I didn't do the preparation in advance, so I was busy playing and got the order wrong. He was also painstaking, but he didn't mean anything else
The emperor was relieved, and then said: "Maybe Yang Fu is to blame." Well, in your opinion. How do you prepare? β
Sun Dan: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is still what I said before, if you want to change the financial embarrassment, you need to open up sources and reduce expenditures. Yang Fu only thought about throttling, but he didn't think about the matter of open source, it was a little inappropriate, he sorted out his thoughts: "In Yichen's opinion, since the Zhengde Dynasty, the government has been unable to make ends meet, and it has been in deficit every year, which is a very serious problem, and if it continues like this, the fundamental plan of the imperial court will be shaken." Therefore, we must first find a way to open source. The courtiers have a way to use it without endowment
"Tell me about it."
