Chapter 438: Money and money, life is connected

West Garden, Yuxi Palace.

Jiajing, who was sitting on the futon, suddenly opened his eyes and sneered: "What's the matter, can't you see me living more comfortably?" ”

Hearing the emperor say such a sentence, all the cabinet members sighed in their hearts, and their hearts screamed that it was going to be bad.

Since the resignation of the emperor was threatened to "force" the emperor to submit during the great ceremonial incident two years ago, the ministers also realized that they had gone too far. Although morality and ethics are important matters related to the country, it is not the duty of a minister to "force" the emperor to such a point. Therefore, during these two years, the ministers and the officials of the six ministries tacitly tolerated the emperor a lot, and tried not to conflict with the Son of Heaven.

But Yang Yiqing had just entered the cabinet, and he was not involved in the last major ceremonial incident, and he didn't know the ins and outs of this matter. In addition, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his prestige in the court is even higher than Yang Tinghe in some aspects, and it is inevitable that he will not pay attention to the young son of heaven.

Now, all the cabinet ministers are old, and Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet this time is the first choice to replace Yang Tinghe as the first assistant in the future, and he also intends to cheer up, and he is even more aggressive in government affairs, and he refuses to let people do it at all.

Hearing the emperor say this, Yang Yiqing was also angry: "Why did Your Majesty say this? Since last summer to the present, Yuxi Palace has almost been completely demolished and rebuilt, and it has cost a huge amount of money, and there are still more than seventy percent of the palace rooms that have not yet been built. If the minister is not mistaken, up to now, more than 300,000 taels have been used for the Yuxi Palace project. If you want to rest and recuperate, you can't finish without one million to two million taels. Where will all this silver come from? The minister is about to take charge of the household department, and the minister is not Sun Wukong, and he does not have three heads and six arms, so he can't change so much silver. ”

Before Jiajing could speak, Huang Jin, who was standing beside him, shouted in shock and anger: "Lord Yang, don't talk to Your Majesty like this, you ...... you."

"What you, you, you?" Yang Yiqing was quite disdainful of Huang Jin. It stands to reason that the cabinet and the celebrant meet every day, and they should cooperate sincerely. Even if the former celebrant is a great "traitor" and a villain like Qian Ning, although his moral character is poor, he is a talented person. These ministers are released, even if they participate in the imperial examination, it is easy to take the Jinshi examination. But this Huang Jin can be a palm print eunuch because of his special relationship with the emperor, but in fact, he is not a big straw bag.

Yang Yiqing snorted, even more excited, and couldn't help but yell at Jiajing: "Your Majesty, Shang Xiu Lutai lost the world, and Qin Jian Afang Palace II died. Your Majesty think twice! ”

Yang Yiqing spoke very politely, Jiajing's face was so angry that even Huang Jin's face lost its blood.

Jiajing stood up suddenly: "Bold, Yang Yiqing, am I unbearable to this point in your eyes, is it possible that I will destroy the country if I build a palace?" You said it's not a monkey, hehe, you're really not. Although Sun Monkey is arrogant, he can figure it out anyway, and if he can get silver, he can deserve to be a good word no matter how he says it. In the past two years, the Jiajing imperial power has gradually stabilized, and he has become more dignified when he talks and acts.

Everyone in the hall knew that the Sun monkey mentioned in Jiajing's mouth was actually referring to Sun Dan. In the past two years, although Sun Dan is only a small editor of the Hanlin Academy, he can accompany the emperor every day, and he is in contact with confidential matters. He has been present in every major event in the DPRK and China, and in the past two years, many thorny affairs have seemed to be handled effortlessly in his hands, which is quite a bit of a moisturizing and silent taste.

Jiajing sneered loudly: "I only use the words 'gong', 'loyalty', and 'ability', as long as I occupy the same, I will use it exceptionally." Although Sun Monkey is a sleek person, he thinks about sharing worries for his father every day, and he can bear a loyal word; He has a huge family fortune, has been an official for many years, does not take any money, but in the DPRK and China, he never shirks everything, and deserves to be a public character; As for being able to, Sun Monkey only knows how to bury his head in things all day long, but he is not the kind of person who only knows rhetoric. ”

He sneered and looked at Yang Yiqing and the cabinet members, and his intentions were self-evident: You people also know how to talk big and talk nonsense, and if you really encounter something, you will pick on them one by one.

"Let's be honest with you, I still borrowed the cost of repairing the Yuxi Palace from the Fangshan Weaving Bureau. Also, the hole in the Nanhe River to repair the Suining River embankment was also borrowed from Fangshan. I am the Son of Heaven, but I want to borrow money from others, what else do you have to say? ”

Yang Yiqing was still unconvinced, and his voice was louder: "Your Majesty, don't you have to pay back the money you borrowed?" In the end, it is not implemented to the head of the household? As His Majesty said, the river workers still owe a lot of money to the local government that needs to be returned. From last year to now, there has been a drought for three months in a row, and there is no hope for winter wheat. After the great drought, there will be a great flood, and the money for the relief of the victims has not yet been settled, so should we borrow from the local government? Your Majesty spends a lot of money, but the minister knows that there is no shortage of silver in the Inner Tibetan Mansion, is Your Majesty unwilling to take one out? ”

Huang Jin was furious when he heard this: "Yang Yiqing, you are so bold, you made up your mind to hit Your Majesty's head, do you want to die?" ”

Yang Yiqing's sentence poked into Jiajing's heart, and Jiajing's pupils contracted. Indeed, as Yang Yiqing said, Emperor Jiajing has a special hobby for money, as long as the money enters his pocket, if he wants to take it out again, there is no way to --- two words.

When Jiajing repaired Yuxi Palace, his idea was to let the state pay for it. I don't care about the debts over there in Fangshan, anyway, your cabinet will give me a way to pay it back.

Now, Yang Yiqing actually started Jiajing's idea, so how can he not be angry.

Jiajing naturally didn't know the Western proverb: the hatred of killing one's father can be forgotten, but the hatred of taking property can only be endless.

But his mind was now infinitely 'pressing' to that proverb.

Jiajing looked at Yang Yiqing gloomily: "I want to support more than 10,000 people in the palace, and I have no money for a long time, is it possible that Lord Yang still wants to go to my Inner Tibetan Mansion to check?" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a dense "rustle!" overhead. Sound.

A eunuch walked in: "Congratulations, long live the lord, it's been dry for three months, and it's raining." ”

Jiajing's face was overjoyed: "It's raining, and the winter wheat is saved." ”

As he was talking, a ray of rain suddenly fell overhead, ticking on the floor.

The eunuch hurriedly took the copper basin and put it in the leaking place, and the rain hit the basin even louder.

Jiajing's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and he pointed to the copper basin and said to the cabinet members: "Look, let's take a look, this is the house where I live." ”

Huang Jin suddenly said, "Wow! A cry burst out: "Yang Shoufu, Yang Xiang, 'Mao' Xiang, Jiang Xiang, this is the house where Long Live Ye lives." Although his old man is a half-immortal body, he can't stand the rain and the "tide"! Isn't it just to build a house, isn't it just to give out some silver? The Son of Heaven is vast and has all over the world, and no house can be repaired. Ordinary people's houses leak when it rains overnight, and they also know how to buy two tiles and find someone to turn over the purlin. But His Majesty wants to rest the tiles above his head, is it so difficult? A man must have a conscience, a conscience! ”

The crowd fell silent, and the house was filled with the sound of rain falling on the brass basin.

After a long time, Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, if this place is really simple, you might as well go back to the palace." ”

"yes." All the ministers came to the spirit, "Your Majesty can go back to the palace to deal with government affairs, and there is no need to stay in Xiyuan." The courtyards of each ministry are in the palace, and if there is something, it is convenient to dispose of it, and there is no need to run at both ends of the courtyard and the west garden. ”

"You, you, are truly hateful!" Huang Jin was still crying loudly.

The emperor was completely speechless to the ministers, he strode to the door of the hall, looked up, but saw that there was already a curtain of rain outside, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Yang Yiqing chased after him and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's going to be waterlogged, you have to find a way to prepare money and food for disaster relief!" ”

The emperor saw that Yang Yiqing was more and more unpleasant, and said angrily: "What kind of disaster, I give so much silver to the river every year, whether it is the Huai River or the Yellow River dam, it is impregnable, why be afraid?" How can there be a flood? ”

Yang Yiqing suddenly laughed: "Haha, Your Majesty's words are premature. ”

The emperor turned his head to stare at him: "What do you say?" ”

Yang Yiqing: "Your Majesty, don't be a minister who doesn't know anything, the embankment over there in Suining seems to be very greasy." ”

The emperor's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stabbed Yang Yiqing fiercely, but he didn't say anything.

Yang Yiqing: "Your Majesty, is Sun Monkey going to Huai'an, is he just going to preside over the government test?" Wouldn't he go to Suining to take a look? Your Majesty's heart is like a mirror, but I'm afraid that Banzai is also suspicious of that side! ”

With a bang, a thunderclap rang out, and the rain fell even harder, and it was even more connected, like an upside-down bead curtain.

When Huang Jin heard Yang Yiqing ask, a thunderbolt sounded in his heart, he suddenly walked to Yang Yiqing's side and shouted, "Yang Yiqing, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yang Yiqing said lightly: "What do you mean, isn't it clear to Gonggong Huang?" Wang Shu and Gan Bida have been very wide in the past few years, and they are river workers and Cao Yun, rich than princes! ”

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "What do I know, what do I know?" ”

Yang Yiqing no longer explained, and was smiling: "The heart is selfless, the world is wide, Huang Gonggong might as well go to the Fengtian Hall and look up to see what is written on the plaque?" ”

"What is written? It is nothing more than the four big characters of Zhengda and Guangming. ”

"Hehe, Huang Gonggong also knows those four words!" Yang Yiqing said.

"Alright." Jiajing suddenly frowned, looking thoughtful: "This rain can't stop for a while, and I don't know what the situation is in Huainan." You say, is the embankment over there reliable? ”

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "That is naturally reliable, Wang Shu is an old minister, and he is also a reliable person." ”

Yang Yiqing: "Huang Gonggong said that it is reliable, so it is naturally reliable." ”

The emperor's gaze was still falling on the rain curtain, and in fact, he was also a little suspicious of Sui Ning. After all, it was a big project of 600,000 taels of silver, don't say it, as long as it involves money, Jiajing will be very spiritual. Therefore, this time Sun Dan went to Huai'an, and he gave a secret decree.

Just as he was fascinated, Chen Hong rushed over and knelt in front of the emperor: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang has given birth to a prince and is a prince." ”
