Chapter Ninety-Eight: Transactions

As the nominally highest department of the foreign court, the struggle between the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet has never stopped, and the Cabinet naturally has a very poor relationship with the Ministry of Officials. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of this, the emperor's edict passed through the cabinet almost overnight and was issued to the officials, and it was even more natural that this matter spread throughout the court.

Anyone can see that the officials really angered the emperor this time!

However, this can only be blamed on Gu Xiancheng's poor business, you know, the courtiers entering the cabinet should not have interfered with the ministry in the first place, although the emperor clearly ordered the ministry to draw up candidates, but it was just a matter of face, Gu Xiancheng really handed over the list according to his own wishes, why is he not looking for death?

What's more, the officials have a criminal record!

The emperor's edict specified in the "first year Lu Guangzu plotted to push for his own use" is to say that Lu Guangzu is Sun Yan's predecessor, and was also the secretary of the ministry, is an extremely strong figure, from the cabinet to regain a lot of power belonging to the ministry, after the first assistant Wang Jiaping stepped down, the same cabinet was empty, in order to continue to fight the cabinet, the power to mobilize the cabinet ministers also got in hand, Lu Guangzu mobilized all the forces to write to the emperor, asking the officials to take the lead, the court to push the ministers.

And the emperor didn't stop it, and agreed to Lu Guangzu's invitation, but in the end, the result of the court push greatly surprised everyone, and Lu Guangzu ranked first!

Zhu Yijun was furious about this and directly accused Lu Guangzu of favoritism!

The final result was naturally that Lu Guangzu was deposed and Sun Yan took over as the secretary of the ministry.

But this is all an old thing, Gu Xiancheng was still dismissed from office at home at that time, and he naturally didn't feel it deeply when he was bullied, but his behavior this time once again touched the emperor's sensitive nerves.

As soon as this edict was issued, everyone in the ministry was naturally in danger, not only Gu Xiancheng was in a hurry, but even Chen Younian, who was recuperating at home, also asked for guilt, but the effect was obviously not great, the emperor did not approve it, and he did not send it in the middle of the ......

Zhu Changluo didn't care about what the trouble was like, he just hoped that the bigger the trouble, the better, and even more concerned about how much benefit he could get from the person in front of him.

"Commander Luo, rare guests!"

On the main seat, Zhu Changluo raised the teacup, looked at Luo Sigong who came to the door with a smile, and said.

Today's Luo Sigong is still wearing a flying fish suit, but the difference is that he seems to be a little uncomfortable with such a bright place, and he has been frowning since he came in.

"Your Highness is polite, this commander came this time, but it was to thank His Highness for reminding him!"

Luo Sigong's face twitched slightly, but he owed and said.

Thinking of the results he obtained, Luo Sigong was angry for a while, but he was also afraid for a while, who would have thought that such a seemingly inconspicuous errand would hide such a big benefit.

What's more, Sun Xian's bastard obviously opened a net, waiting for himself to get in, and even bought off two thousand households at a great cost, concealing information about the mining tax, and making himself almost make a big mistake!

The emperor must be clear about the mining tax.

When I dealt with Sun Xian at this time, I was simply hitting the muzzle of the gun!

"Then the king was born, I don't know what the result of Commander Luo's investigation is?"

Zhu Changluo did not shirk and said with a smile.

He doesn't know how big the power of Jinyiwei is, but since he can have such a great reputation in later generations, it can naturally show the extraordinaryness of Jinyiwei, as long as Luo Sigong wants to check, I'm afraid there are not many things that can hide from him, after all, even if Sun Xian can control two thousand households, but he can't control the entire Jinyiwei, there are still hundreds of households under the thousand households, and there are general flags and small flags under the hundred households, and you can always find it if you want to check.

"Four million taels!"

Luo Sigong's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice.

In fact, he didn't expect that this number would be so shocking, the two thousand households in charge of HN and ZJ were all people he trusted, but who would have thought that they would be bribed by Sun Xian and hide such a big thing.

This is no longer a simple numerical problem, more than half of the annual revenue of the treasury can definitely make the emperor's six relatives not recognize!

The government and the opposition are criticizing the emperor for treating the emperor's eldest son poorly, and there is not even a mansion that meets the regulations after leaving the cabinet, but Luo Sigong knows that even if the emperor doesn't like this prince anymore, he will not lose face, and the biggest reason why he is so stingy is that the inner treasury has no money!

You must know that the emperor is not easy to do, the expenses in the inner court, the expenses of the harem, and even the rewards to the ministers, including the palace rewards that the prince should have when he leaves the cabinet, according to the system, the treasury is not responsible for the expenditure, and all the silver must be borne from the inner treasury.

The royal family has nearly three million taels of Taicang silver every year, which can only be regarded as barely enough to spend, but last year's Korean battle directly consumed nearly one million taels of silver, which directly made the silver in the inner treasury bottom, it is conceivable that this mining tax silver tael is a timely rain for the emperor with a good face!

"Good means!"

Zhu Changluo was also slightly shocked, he thought that three million taels was enough, but he didn't expect that he really underestimated the ability of these mining tax eunuchs to loot silver taels.

"It's a good idea!"

Luo Sigong sneered.

"After they arrived at the locality, they singled out the big households that made a living from minerals, and united with local officials to loot the silver taels! But it is done in a very measured way, each big household collects some, but it will not let the other party hurt the muscles and bones, avoid the rich households with a large amount of land, so that the people who make a living from farming will not make trouble, on the other hand, buy the local Jinyi Wei, this commander did not pay attention, and it almost made them blindfolded! ”

To be honest, this actually can't be blamed on Luo Sigong, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is different from the things that serve in the inner palace in Dongchang, he has a lot of things to do, just talking about the battle of Korea, if it weren't for Luo Sigong using the spies who had long been hidden in North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, this war might not be so easy to win!

Now that the war has just ended, his side has also suffered heavy losses, and he has focused on Liaodong, and he has only recently freed his hands, who would have thought that Sun Xian would take advantage of the loophole at this time.

"So, does Commander Luo still plan to continue to deal with Sun Xian?"

Zhu Changluo also sighed, narrowed his eyes and asked.

The big local households are all fat and oily, and it stands to reason that the looting is nothing at all, but you must know that the mining tax is only the first year, and these people still have some restraint, and when a few years later, when these people start to do everything for silver, that is the most serious time!

But he can't control these for the time being, even if he defeats a group of people, another group of people will appear, as long as the emperor has the idea of collecting mining taxes in his heart, this matter will not stop.

And all he has to do now is to continue to strengthen himself!

"So...... Your Highness has a way? ”

Luo Sigong's eyes lit up, if it was possible, he naturally wanted to bring Sun Xian down, but the problem was that Sun Xian now has the protection of the emperor, it is almost impossible to deal with, and forcibly attacking will only hurt others and himself, and it may even hurt himself or others.

"There is a way, but why does this king want to help Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Changluo showed a smile and said with obvious ill intentions.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you still have the handle in the hands of this commander?"

For this kind of obviously rip-off look, Luo Sigong naturally wouldn't be incomprehensible, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a somewhat dangerous way.

"Then it seems that we can't get along, Commander Luo, please!"

Zhu Changluo straightened his clothes and said lightly.

This matter can't be said on the table, he was afraid that Luo Sigong would poke it out, because he was afraid that his plan would die, as for now, it is almost brewing, and it is time to detonate, and it is no longer meaningful to be said by anyone.

As for the emperor's disgust? Oh, is it possible that if he doesn't do these things, Zhu Yijun will like him?

"What do you want?"

Luo Sigong gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that he was pecked by geese all day long.

At this time, I went to report it, I am afraid that in addition to making the emperor think that Jinyiwei was ineffective, there would be no other result, but it would make Sun Xian proud, and he was not a fool, so he naturally would not see this clearly.

"A real Jinyi Wei Qianhu!"

Zhu Changluo said lightly, obviously a lion's mouth.

"No way!"

This time, Luo Sigong refused very simply, because this condition was simply impossible.

"Your Highness should know that there are only fourteen real positions in the entire Jinyi Guard, each of which must be approved by the emperor, and this commander can remove them, but if you want to appoint one, I can't do anything!"

This is the truth, Jinyiwei's real job of a thousand households is very expensive, even Luo Sigong wants to remove two thousand households, he has to play the emperor in advance, as for the appointment, it is reviewed layer by layer, and finally decided by the emperor, if you want to make a decision on this, it is absolutely impossible!

"Then three hundred households! The place is up to me! ”

Zhu Changluo shook his finger and said.

"No! There are only 700 households in one guard, if you give three to Your Highness at once, where will you be in command? ”

He has the power to appoint a hundred households, but Luo Sigong can't hand over a guard to Zhu Changluo so simply, who knows what he wants to do?

"Isn't Commander Luo thinking about it? If this king's method can be successful, Jinyiwei will not only be able to sweep away Sun Xian's henchman, but he can't say for sure...... Even Zhang Cheng can move! ”

Zhu Changluo's seductive voice sounded again, making Luo Sigong silent.

After a moment, he said in a somewhat dry voice.

"Two! The local conductor will arrange it! ”

"One, the place is determined by this king!"

"Deal!"

Looking at Zhu Changluo's treacherous smile, Luo Sigong suddenly felt that it would be a mistake for him to promise him today, and it would be a big mistake......
