"Has the cabinet come up with a charter?" As soon as he heard the word "earthquake", Emperor Jiajing had a burst of brain pain, and the actual damage caused by the great earthquake in Layue last year had already been reported, which was twice as bad as the worst case originally estimated.

It is precisely because he can't stand the heavy and troublesome work after the earthquake that he has been hiding in the deep palace to evade responsibility in the name of self-examination and cultivation. Now although he was fooled by Tao Tianshi's sentence of 'God is displeased', he is very reluctant to care about this matter.

Yan Song was deeply concerned, so naturally he would not make much effort, and had already explained the matter to Xu Jie, so now Xu Ge Lao had no choice but to open his mouth and propose to His Majesty to 'send officials to comfort the locality', 'reduce taxes and taxes, and persuade the squires to be rent-free and interest-free', and 'recruit doctors and medicinal materials from all over the country to prevent and treat the epidemic as soon as possible. and so on.

Listening to Xu Jie's orderly arrangement, Emperor Jiajing's face turned slightly pale, and he said: "As long as there is no problem with the money, it will be approved." ”

Xu Jie said softly: "Budget the household, if you want to do these points, it will cost at least two million taels, and this silver household ...... Can't take it out. ”

"What then?" The emperor lowered his face and said, "I am also a poor bastard, and I can't solve it." ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and your subordinates are discussing with the household department whether they can temporarily borrow this silver from large households in various places, and then repay it together with interest as soon as the summer tax is collected." Xu Jie said softly.

"Let's do it like this......" The emperor said impatiently: "Borrow every year, repay every year, who is my Ming Dynasty collecting taxes for?!" ”

When the dignified empire encounters a disaster, it is really ridiculous to borrow money from the big households, but looking at the reactions of the monarchs and ministers in this hall, it is obviously commonplace.

"What else?" Emperor Jiajing couldn't wait to skip the issue of earthquakes...... Because it always makes itself feel deeply inferior and powerless, it always subconsciously has to escape.

Li Mo then spoke: "Since last year, Weichen has been ordered to examine the Beijing officials, and now it is basically over, and the triennial Bingchen external inspection is being carried out as usual, and 270 officials below the fourth grade have been impeached according to the routine, just waiting for His Majesty's approval. However, there are co-organizers who impeach the second-rank officials, and in addition to the power of the micro-ministers, they need to ask His Majesty to decide. Then he presented the two letters.

Although he couldn't see the content of the note, Shen Mo knew very well that it must be the two letters from Xia Yan and Sun Jun, and he had already known the content from Jinyiwei - as he expected, Li Mo really couldn't wait, and as soon as he saw His Majesty, he couldn't wait to declare war on Yan Ge Lao head-on!

'Damn, it's a good show!' Shen Mo was slightly excited, and couldn't help but secretly burst into foul language...... He couldn't help but thank Emperor Lao'er for giving him this opportunity, and he could see the scheming Yan Ge Lao and Li Shangshu who took the lead in the showdown. Although it is not said that Sansheng is lucky, it is definitely an opportunity to observe and learn.

Of course, at the same time, he was also deeply terrified by Emperor Jiajing's accurate judgment and mastery of his subordinates...... He remembered that Emperor Fang Cai said, 'I will let you watch a monkey show to see if it is fun.' Could it be that such a level of competition is like a monkey show in his eyes?

Not to mention Shen Minyan, who looked up to the mountains, just said that when Li Mo was reading the recital, Li Mo reported with righteous words: "The southeast Japanese invaders made a big comeback, not only reoccupying the old nests such as Bopu and Dongchuansha, but also going deep into the interior to sweep several times. After the tenth day of the first month, Wang Shi was defeated one after another. For a time, there were fires in the southeast, and smoke was coming out in all directions! The people were in dire straits. At the time of this minister's external inspection, I want to ask the cabinet and local governors, governors, and governors, aren't they already 'Haiyan River clear', and where did this widow come from? ”

Jiajing listened, closed the music in his hand, and said lightly: "Elder Yan Ge, Li Shangshu questioned you, answer it." ”

Yan Song got up with the pier and said tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, answer Lord Li, the old minister thinks that the Japanese are neither from the sky nor from the ground, and the deep cause is clearly that the evil has not been eliminated and the ashes have revived......

"It seems that in the last year, Zhao Wenhua and Zhao Shilang recommended by Yan Ge Lao...... Oh no, now it's Zhao Shangshu, and he also wrote to the court, declaring that 'the water and land are successful, and the Haiyan River is clear', and finally returned to the dynasty with a proud reputation, and became an official and a knight. It's only been two months now, and Jiangnan is full of wolf smoke again," Li Mo said aggressively: "Didn't he lie about the military situation and deceive the king?" "Although this matter was investigated, he, the recommender of the governor of the southeast, did not have good fruit to eat. But after all, Cao Bangfu, the governor of Susong, won a few battles, and he was the only bright spot in the 'Gray New Year', which could add some points to him...... There is a saying that 'kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred', Li Mo has decided to break the wrist of a strong man and force the Yan Party into a corner.

Facing Li Mo's sharp sword that was forced to his throat, Yan Song seemed unhurried, he kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Lord Li is to blame, the old minister has looked away, and it is really difficult to get rid of it!" The old minister has been thinking about it again and again, and he always feels that the crux of the problem lies in Zhao Wenhua, it was he who went to the year to supervise and suppress the Japanese people, and he won a success, and returned with honors, and the whole world said that he was a pillar of talent who could govern the country and be able to secure the country. The emperor trusted him and made him an official and knighted, and he was given thousands of graces. After a pause, he said with a sad face: "But in fact, now that the Japanese are resurrected, it is clear that he did not exterminate it cleanly, so he withdrew and returned to the court, and his guilt of 'falsely reporting the military situation and fishing for fame' cannot be quibbled!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked!

Li Mo was stunned, the emperor, who had been keeping his eyes open, squinted, and Xu Jie, who had been squinting, opened his eyes...... Even the silence behind the curtain was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth...... What medicine did this old man take wrong? Do you think you're done too slowly? Or do you want to pick a pick?

Emperor Jiajing fixed his gaze at Shoufu, who had accompanied him for twenty years, and found that the old man was too old...... Although he was an old man when I first met him, it was really not so old and terrible. Then he couldn't bear to say: "With what Shoufu sees, what should be done?" ”

"Investigate it strictly and treat it severely!" Yan Song cut the railway.

This makes people inevitably think that the old man is going to lose his pawn to protect the car. Emperor Jiajing frowned, and said with a smile: "Zhao Wenhua was carried by you, if I remember correctly, he is still your godson, and now Shoufu really wants to kill his relatives in righteousness?" ”

Yan Song said with a look of indignation: "In Weichen's heart, only the emperor and Sheji, if they alarm the holy driver and disturb the sheji, not to mention the minister's righteous son, even his own son Yan Shifan, he will never show favoritism!" ”

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw that Yan Song's words were sonorous and loud, and he had the intention of sending Zhao Wenhua to the guillotine with his own hands...... He knows that Zhao Wenhua is the banner and backbone of the Yan Party, if he is broken, it is not as simple as losing a backbone, but it means that a big banner falls, which can easily cause panic, and then there is a scene of the tree falling and scattering, so Yan Song will try his best to ensure that Zhao Wenhua is not lost no matter which angle he considers. Can ...... now Does he really want to 'tear up the horse'? Could it be that I really misjudged my old Shousuke?

The emperor was fascinated, but the silence hidden behind the curtain was beating faster, and he had to cover his mouth in order to hold back and cheer for Yan Ge Lao!

Combined with Lu Bing and Tao Zhongwen's description of His Majesty's surname of Jiajing, Shen Mo dared to play eighty percent of the guarantees, this time Emperor Jiajing was playing monkeys at the same time, and he was also played by monkeys!!

The reason why Emperor Jiajing can devote his limited life to the infinite cause of cultivation is because in the thirty years since Yang Tinghe left, none of all the ministers could guess his mind, and no one was his opponent, and they were all played by him. So much so that he lost his interest in fighting with others and turned to challenge God!

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing can proudly say: What I cultivate is not Taoism, but loneliness.

But as Lao Tzu said in his faith, 'its government is dull, its people are pure, its government is inspected, and its people are lacking.' ’…… What this means is that there is a generous boss above, and the people below are more honest; If you are replaced by a smart and strict leader who leaves no room for error, the people below will learn to be smart and cunning.

This is actually very understandable, because the ministers have to live well by serving the emperor, and if the emperor is better served, the ministers don't have to bother so much, just work hard. But if it is replaced by an emperor like Jiajing, who is talented and intelligent, good at cheating, and always makes you unable to figure out the way, everyone can't help but serve, otherwise who will give them officials.

There is a saying that three stinkers have competed Zhuge Liang, and the emperor has only one, and he has not changed people for more than 30 years, but the ministers are like a river, endless, there are always some geniuses, after a long time of experience accumulation, gradually figured out his set, and became a person who can fool the emperor and even use it.

At present, there is only one father and son who can do this, that is, Yan Song and Yan Shifan. But it is conceivable that Xu Jie, who has been silently observing them, will also write his name in the near future.

and the incomparably clever and scheming Silence, who has also realized this, began to observe it carefully. In the longer term, I believe that more intelligent people will be aware of this change and join the ranks of not being tricked...... In fact, now, the era of people playing monkeys is over, and now everyone is a monkey! You think you're watching a monkey, but you don't know you're being played by a monkey...... It's a bit of a twist, but that's what it means.
