Chapter 804: Nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace

Jin Yiwei spreads rumors everywhere, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for the officialdom of the capital! Many people already want to impeach Li Dongyang in their hearts and expose Li Dongyang's hypocrisy!

After Zhang Zhijie gave the order, he began to wait quietly for things to start fermenting. But when Zhang Zhijie was enjoying tea, suddenly a hundred households came in, and Liang Chu, the secretary of the ministry, came to see the Admiral!

After hearing this, Zhang Zhijie was puzzled, the yamen of Jinyiwei rarely has civil officials, and they all avoid Jinyiwei, not to mention the official department of Shangshu, who is known as the heavenly official! I don't seem to have any contact with Liang Chu!

Not only Zhang Zhijie, but the rest of the Jinyiwei also felt fresh, and the official Shangshu ran to Jinyiwei! This is the first time I've seen it in the first time.

But what is certain is that Liang Chu must have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace! Zhang Zhijie got up and said, "Let's go, go with this governor to meet this heavenly official!" ”

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment of civil officials below the fourth grade, and is in charge of the assessment of all civil officials, because they are in charge of the assessment, so they also have the right to recommend officials above the fourth grade! Therefore, the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and Shangshu is known as the Heavenly Official!

As soon as Liang Chu entered the yamen of Jinyiwei, he saw Zhang Zhijie in a python robe come out, and Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "Liang Shangshu, a rare guest!" ”

Although Zhang Zhijie is dozens of years younger than Liang Chu, Zhang Zhijie is a high authority! is really a high authority is better than Liang Chu, because Zhang Zhijie has a freshly baked Taibao, which is a good product! And Shangshu is just a second grade, Liang Chu has a young master hanging on his body, from the first grade!

Although he is dozens of years older than others, but his official position is not as big as others, Liang Chu threw away the sense of absurdity in his heart, and politely hugged his fists and smiled: "Admiral Zhang, take the liberty to visit, forgive me!" ”

"Lord Liang is really too polite, this brocade guard yamen has been a lot of people for many years, it is rare for Lord Shangshu to come to the door, and it is full of brilliance! Liang Shangshu inside please! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

Although he was extremely reluctant to go in, Liang Chu also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he smiled and followed Zhang Zhijie into the yamen of Jinyiwei.

Zhang Zhijie beckoned his subordinates to make tea, and guessed Liang Chu's intention in his heart! There is no doubt that it must be related to the disaster in Henan. However, although I am very sympathetic to the disaster in Henan, I can't help or intervene!

It can't be because the treasury is empty, and he is calling for money to donate money for disaster relief, right? Just kidding, who dares, if anyone dares to donate silver for disaster relief, it will collect the hearts of the people, and they will be beheaded!

Liang Chu also felt very uncomfortable when he entered the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and the age difference between him and Zhang Zhijie was too much, and he really didn't have any common language when he stayed together, and he felt uncomfortable after saying a few words of gossip.

So Liang Chu decided to open the door and said: "Admiral Zhang, today Liang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today he is really asking to see Admiral Zhang!" ”

Zhang Zhijie waved his hand politely and smiled: "Liang Shangshu is too polite, if there is anything Liang Shangshu said, if he can do it, he will definitely not refuse!" ”

"Presumably Admiral Zhang also knows that Henan has suffered a locust plague and the people are in distress. The imperial court is organizing disaster relief, but the state affairs are difficult! Since his accession to the throne today, the imperial court has been unable to make ends meet, and now the treasury is empty, and it is really powerless to provide disaster relief! Liang Chu sighed.

Zhang Zhijie knew all this, so he didn't interrupt Liang Chu, just listened quietly and waited for Liang Chu's next words.

"Although the treasury is empty, but the imperial court can't ignore the affected people, the two scholars and the household department Fei Shangshu discussed, and now there is only one way! That is to ask the emperor to allocate money from the inner treasury for disaster relief! Liang Chu observed Zhang Zhijie's face and said in a deep voice.

I was thinking of allocating money from Emperor Zhengde's inner treasury for disaster relief! Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, in all fairness, this solution is really good, at least it is much more reliable than embezzling officials!

But it is not so easy to transfer money from Emperor Zhengde's inner treasury, after all, the glass workshop is not as good as before, and Emperor Zhengde's inner treasury is not as rich as before!

At this time, Zhang Zhijie also guessed the intention of Liang Chu, obviously Li Dongyang and they must have touched a nose, and wanted Zhang Zhijie to persuade Emperor Zhengde to agree to allocate silver from the inner treasury for disaster relief.

To be honest, Zhang Zhijie was reluctant in his heart, he was now concentrating on Li Dongyang, how could he help Li Dongyang?

However, Zhang Zhijie's idea only existed for a moment and then disappeared, because he knew that the situation in Henan must be extremely miserable after the disaster! In this era, there is no such thing as donations, and you can only rely on the relief of the government, if the government does not provide relief, then you can only wait for death!

Moreover, if Zhang Zhijie did not come forward to persuade Emperor Zhengde, since Li Dongyang had already chosen to transfer money from Emperor Zhengde's inner treasury, then all the contradictions would be transferred to Emperor Zhengde!

After saying this, Liang Chu was a little nervous in his heart, he was afraid that Zhang Zhijie would shirk. Because Zhang Zhijie has a reason to prevaricate, because it's none of his business! He doesn't have to meddle at all, and there is nothing wrong with him in terms of duties.

But without Zhang Zhijie's persuasion, it would be difficult for Emperor Zhengde to agree to allocate money from the inner treasury when he knew that he could embezzle the official money for disaster relief! In the end, if you are really forced to embezzle the official property, that is really what Liang Chu does not want to see!

Because Liang Chu knows very well that many low-level officials live completely on official salaries, if the official salaries are not paid, then they really have a last meal and no next meal. I'm afraid I have to borrow money as a last resort! That was really what Liang Chu couldn't bear to see.

"It's just that the emperor insists that there is no silver in the inner treasury! However, Admiral Zhang has lost a lot of silver for the inner treasury in the past few years, and I am afraid that there will be no less than two or three million taels! How could the emperor's inner treasury not have silver? Admiral Zhang, this is a matter of human life! The old man is here to ask Admiral Zhang to come forward and persuade the emperor! On behalf of the thousands of people affected by the disaster in Henan, thank you Admiral Zhang! Liang Chu said with red eyes.

"Liang Shangshu is too polite, and the governor of Henan is also very suspenseful, as long as there is a place to contribute, the governor will naturally not stand idly! It's just that what the emperor said is not bad, and there is not much silver in the inner treasury! Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice, "But the disaster relief is big, so the governor will go and persuade the emperor to see if he can squeeze out some silver!" ”

Liang Chu's heart sank when he heard the front, and he felt that Zhang Zhijie was likely to shirk the blame, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to agree very neatly!
