Chen Ju said that it was gossip, but in the end, it was a golden mouth, who would dare to really ignore it.

What's more, the inner treasury is not as good as the foreign dynasty and national politics, to put it bluntly, the silver in the inner treasury is the emperor's private use, how to use it all depends on the emperor's mind, Chen Ju's two sentences are clearly told to everyone here.

In the future, the treasury will be the treasury, and the treasury will be the treasury, don't think that the treasury will run out of money and look for relief from the treasury!

This is a naked threat!

Zhu Geng glanced at Zhao Shiqing, who had quickly changed his position, and grinded his teeth fiercely.

In this regard, Zhao Shangshu said that there was nothing he could do.

is still the same sentence, the treasury has no money, and he is really not a good housekeeper, the treasury has indeed been rich in the past two years, but that is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has extorted a sum of silver taels from the Wa State today.

It's a windfall, and it's gone!

What's more, Zhao Shangshu knew best in his heart that at least half of the silver taels from the Wa Kingdom were included in the emperor's inner treasury, and the rest was returned to the principal of those merchants, and the rest was only four or five million taels to his household, and one million taels were extorted away.

This is a lot of silver, but don't forget, how many places the court uses silver, this windfall is only about a year's tax, even if he saves a little money, it is estimated that it will be lost in less than two years.

Originally, Zhao Shangshu was still thinking about it, he had nothing to do and went into the palace to cry poorly, and pulled out some silver from the emperor's inner treasury, which was what the Hubu Shangshu did in previous dynasties......

But now the emperor has made it clear that he wants to tighten the inner treasury silver root, and now he will sit on wax as a book.

Without the big household of the inner library, his life as a household secretary would not be easy.

The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, Zhao Shangshu heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately understood that this was the emperor beating him, if he honestly waved the flag and shouted beside the emperor, the benefits would naturally be great.

You must know that although Zhao Shiqing does not know how many silver taels there are in the inner treasury now, under a rough estimate, he also knows that the silver in the inner treasury is at least four or five times that of the national treasury.

Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, a penny is difficult to defeat the hero, in the face of the powerful money offensive, Zhao Shangshu is very spineless.

What's more, under the pressure of the emperor, can it be called cowardice? That has to be called loyalty and patriotism!

"Da Situ is reasonable, as an auxiliary minister, I am entrusted by His Majesty to assist the government, how can we ignore it and rely only on our own selfish interests? The mining tax should be stopped, but in recent years, the treasury tax has been decreasing day by day, after the abolition of the mining tax, where does the treasury come from, if we do not solve this matter, we will talk about the dethronement of the mining tax, will not become a misguided person? ”

It was Li Tingji, a scholar of Dongge University, who spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the faces of everyone present suddenly became solemn.

When it comes to official positions, Li Tingji, a cabinet scholar who ranks last, is by no means at the forefront of today's court discussions, and he is definitely one line higher than several low-ranking scholars.

But sometimes, status is not just based on official position, Li Daxue also has an identity, the leader of the imperial party!

The lecturer of the East Palace when he was in the Qiandi today, and the Qingliu Cichen with profound qualifications, this is in this era of valuing the prince of heaven and earth, and the relationship between teachers and students is a pivotal position.

What's more, Li Tingji's attitude has basically replaced Jinshang's attitude!

So although his official position is not obvious, he does not speak easily, and now he has such sharp words in one mouth, which can't help but make everyone present think.

It should be said that Li Tingji has been in the officialdom for many years, and he definitely has the basic qualities of a bureaucrat, and he can keep his mouth shut about the door.

The so-called rice can be eaten indiscriminately, and words cannot be said indiscriminately, Li Tingji's words seem to be in solidarity with Zhao Shiqing, but the words in his words are clearly aimed at Shen Zhu and the others.

Listen carefully to what he is called, my minister......

There are so many people present, but not everyone is qualified to be called an auxiliary minister, this is the privilege of the cabinet scholars, Li Tingji's words are clearly to ridicule Zhu Geng, who came forward to play a round, as for the later miserans, it is directly pointed to Shen Li, who advocates the direct dismissal of the mining tax.

The so-called one step at a time and three steps, in the face of such an almost blatant accusation, the minds of the ministers of the cabinet department are running rapidly.

The most important question is, why did Li Tingji choose to stand up in this way at this time?

It stands to reason that as the emperor's most trusted teacher and a representative of the imperial party, Li Tingji should stand up for the emperor at the first time, in view of the fact that the first assistant is suspected of joining forces with the emperor, that is to say, Li Tingji should at least be consistent with the first assistant.

Even if he was not sure whether the emperor and Shoufu would join forces, at least on the matter of mining taxes, the emperor's attitude was very clear.

But the strange thing is that Li Tingji has not expressed his opinion on this matter until now, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he led the conversation to Shen Zhu and the others, which is not right......

A question appeared in the hearts of all the bigwigs, could it be that His Majesty's new emperor ascended the throne with three fires, and this was preparing to burn the fire to the cabinet?

According to the thoughts of the ministers, Shen Ge Lao, who was being targeted head-on at this moment, was angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Although Shen Li ranks third in this cabinet, if you want to talk about seniority, even the second assistant Zhenji is inferior to him, not to mention Li Tingji, a hairy boy who has just entered the cabinet.

What if you are a close confidant of Your Majesty? The old man is seventy-two years old this year, and he won't be able to last a few years before he becomes a master, are you still afraid that you won't succeed?

What do you mean by that? Could it be that there are only those who have the same opinion as you? The old man is an auxiliary minister, but he is just a matter of facts, right and wrong have his own judgment, and it is not your turn to teach the old man a lesson. ”

Shen Ge's seniority was deeper than most of the people present, and at this moment, he put on a senior appearance and unceremoniously admonished Li Tingji, and Li Tingji was speechless for a while.

"Okay, don't quarrel, I'm here today for a discussion, not to attack each other, above the court, it is the ministers who speak freely, how can they sin because of their words? Erzhang, you lost your word! ”

The one who can speak in this tone of teaching the ministers, don't think about it, and naturally there is only one qualified person present, Wang Xijue, the first assistant boss.

"It's the old man who is in a hurry, don't blame you!"

However, Li Tingji saw that Shen Li relied on his qualifications to teach him a lesson, and was about to reason with Shen Li, but he was reprimanded by the old shoufu, so he had to swallow this breath, and he arched his hand unwillingly and sat back in his place.

He can choke with Shen Li, because although there is a hidden ranking in the cabinet, as long as the name is not the first assistant and the second assistant, everyone is an ordinary cabinet minister and has an equal status.

But since Lao Shoufu has spoken, he has to admit his mistake even if he is unwilling.

It's just that this gesture fell into Wang Xijue's eyes, but he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, this Li Erzhang, is it really saying these words at the behest of His Majesty?
