Chapter 618: Unexpected
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty had no discipline, which Zhu Changluo had long known, in the original history, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who were known for their style and bones, did not obediently shave their hair and change their courts when the Tartars entered Beijing?
Zhu Changluo does not deny that there are still outstanding ministers in the imperial court, but the general atmosphere of officialdom has been broken, and in the past few dynasties, there has not been the fierceness of party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.
The courtiers formed a party for personal gain, protected each other from top to bottom, and based on the weaving of wings, without thinking about the rise and fall of the imperial court and the interests of the country, how could the Ming Dynasty be immortal?
The real drawback of the Ming Dynasty lies in the tax system, which is the basis for solving other problems, which Zhu Changluo has always known in his heart.
Not only him, but his father also knew it very well in his heart!
But they didn't move, why?
Because of the power of this huge bureaucracy, even the most honorable father and son did not dare to act rashly.
The emperor was impeached for a long time as soon as he raised a mining tax, let alone touching the tax law?
Zhu Changluo didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't know that more than half of the ministers in the court were born in merchant families and had an inextricable relationship with private capital.
Don't they know that the tax laws of the imperial court are unreasonable?
How can it be!
Among these people, there are talented and intelligent people, there are people who are transparent in the world, and there are people with outstanding vision, all of whom are outstanding talents selected by the imperial court, who have been in the officialdom for many years, and are extremely familiar with government affairs, how can they not see the problem.
It's not that they can't see it, but they don't want to see it!
It is precisely because of what you can see that you have to do your best to stop it, because if the imperial court wants to move the tax law, it is to cut the flesh on their bodies!
For the sake of his own selfish interests, he can not even care about the rise and fall of the country, let alone a civil and military dispute?
So Zhu Changluo was not the slightest surprise at the news brought by Fei Jiajin, on the contrary, he was more interested in......
"I don't know if Governor Fei Du can find out, how many people are involved?"
Zhu Changluo said it lightly, but the utter coldness revealed in his words made everyone present shiver.
"Your Highness, with all due respect, what Governor Faedu said still needs to be considered! If someone in the court really wants to do something to His Royal Highness, why should he order a mere Zhangwubo to come forward? ”
The stakes are very high, and everyone present is extremely familiar with Zhu Changluo's character, and naturally knows that this person is already angry in his heart.
At that moment, Li Tingji didn't care about anything else, and took two steps forward to speak.
However, these words made Fei Jiajin's face a little unsightly, Li Tingji's words were equivalent to saying, is the news he brought fake?
"What does Elder Li Ge mean by this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front of him, is it possible that the old man still dares to tell lies?"
The ministers and relatives of the Ming Dynasty did not like each other, not only in the court, but also in the East Palace.
Although Fei Jiajin is amiable on weekdays, he can't get used to these Wenchen in his heart, so he just cares about Zhu Changluo's face and doesn't care about them.
But now Li Tingji's words are excessive!
Of course, in other places, Fei Jiajin is at most to brush his sleeves and leave, not to argue with him more, after all, this dynasty of Chinese respect for martial arts has long been a common thing, if it really makes trouble, it will be his own loss.
But now it's different, Zhu Changluo has matured over the years, and gradually has the so-called imperial style, and his mind is changeable, even the people around him are difficult to figure it out.
But Fei Jiajin is different, he has been friends with Zhu Changluo since he was a teenager, and naturally knows that the other party attaches great importance to Xun Qi and military generals, and naturally he will not swallow his anger like in other places.
What's more, although Li Tingji is the teacher of Professor Zhu Changluo, and now he is a cabinet minister, Fei Jiajin and Zhu Changluo's friendship is deeper than Li Tingji, although he does not often walk around the East Palace.
But if you really want to talk about the status in your heart, Fei Jiajin is definitely higher than Li Tingji!
"Fei Dudu misunderstood, Brother Er Zhang didn't mean it! It's just that what Fei Dudu said is too sensational, maybe he was deceived by others, and what Brother Er Zhang said is also reasonable to question, and Du Du doesn't need to be so excited! ”
The atmosphere on the scene was a little stagnant, Ye Xianggao sighed, and had to come forward to play the round.
However, it was obvious that his words were still biased towards Li Tingji, Fei Jiajin's face was stagnant, and he was angry, but he was not angry at Ye Xianggao's smiling face.
"Calm down! They are all important ministers of the court, what does such a quarrel look like? ”
At this time, Zhu Changluo finally spoke.
With a hint of displeasure in his tone, he frowned slightly and looked at a few people, although there was no movement, but the three of them felt a momentum in unison.
This one is angry!
"Your Highness is angry, and the minister is out of shape! Please punish Your Highness! ”
Fei Jiajin was the first to react and said with his fists clenched.
"The ministers are out of order, please punish Your Highness!"
Ye and Li also followed and arched their hands.
Zhu Changluo waved his hand, but his face was still cold.
"There is no need to punish, what Mr. Li said just now is not unreasonable, Wenchen is different from Xun Qi, if they want to do it, why do they have to beat around the bush, and then find Zhang Du through Zhang Wubo to come forward in the matter?"
Zhu Changluo frowned slightly and asked.
Ye Li and the others straightened up, looking at Fei Jiajin's face with a slight smugness, in the final analysis, in His Royal Highness's heart, it is still Wenchen's weight that is heavier!
This look naturally fell in Fei Jiajin's eyes, and he naturally understood the thoughts of the two, but it was precisely because he understood that he scoffed even more.
These two people really still don't know His Highness well enough, and if His Highness really attaches more importance to Wenchen, he won't pick and choose at this moment.
He asked this because there was something suspicious about it......
"Your Highness, that's because the impeachment and the person who wants to plot against His Highness are not the same force!"
Fei Jiajin was still hesitating to explain the matter in front of the two, but seeing Zhu Changluo's problem, he simply didn't hide it and said.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the minister learned from Uncle Zhangwu that some of the relatives are indeed dissatisfied with His Highness's restructuring and want to obstruct it, but Uncle Zhangwu is not the person in charge, what he knows, but the people who know it are that the Xunqi and some ministers in the court have reached an agreement, and the conspiracy should be coordinated with the outside and ready to do it together, but these people's plans are not as simple as impeaching His Highness, but there is a more rigorous plan, how it is, Zhang Wubo is not clear, and in fact, he ordered Zhang Wubo to find Zhang Du to the people in the matter, but it is not these people!"
Although Fei Jiajin had tried his best to express it clearly, Ye and Li were still frowning, a little confused.
However, Zhu Chang Luofu's eyes flashed like a heart, and he vaguely guessed something, and said after a moment of silence.
"What Governor Fei Du said, the person who gave the order to Uncle Zhangwu is ......"
"Your Majesty!"
Fei Jiajin sighed and said softly.
