"Elder Liu Ge, I also know that although the opening of the Chinese method has alleviated the problem of the shortage of silver in my court's households, it is very harmful, and it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, so I summoned you to discuss countermeasures with Mr. Xiya and Mr. Mu Zhai today." Emperor Hongzhi was also very distressed, although the opening of the law solved the problem that the salt of the domestic merchants could not be obtained quickly, the introduction of the border merchants was unwilling to sell cheaply, there was no one in the newspaper, and the salt was unsalable, resulting in no storage on the side, but it brought a bigger problem, that is, the problem of private salt was more serious than the previous dynasties, almost shaking the foundation of the opening of the Chinese law, and even shaking the foundation of the throne, although it has not yet been seen, but this is a symptom.

The key is that Emperor Hongzhi heard a report from his subordinates yesterday that Ye Guan said that the entire Tai'an Mansion had been bought by smuggler salt dealers, and the situation of letting him cover the sky made Emperor Hongzhi feel uneasy. The emperor is not afraid of the common people who stop the sedan chair to complain about their grievances, nor are they afraid of the corrupt officials who bend the law for bribes, and they are not afraid of the powerful ministers. The sedan chair is stopped to tell the grievances shows that the common people still think that this court can have someone to help him avenge his grievances, and the corrupt officials who are corrupt and pervert the law will be arrested in prison with the emperor's holy decree as long as the imperial court sends a patrol to the imperial history and is executed in the future, and the lost popular support will come back. The powerful civil ministers are even better, since Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister through Hu Weiyong's rebellion, there is no leader in the civil officials. Since ancient times, civil officials have been inferior to each other, and military generals have been cheap. Without a leader, the group of sour and rotten literati of civil officials is just a plate of loose sand. The three cabinet bosses had to rely on a balance between them in order to prevent the civil and official clique from splitting. No matter how powerful the courtiers are, they only need a holy decree from the emperor to obediently surrender their powers, and no one will follow him to make trouble.

But what the emperor is most afraid of is being deceived, and it is better to say that the eunuchs have no roots, and the inner eunuchs are not in harmony with the ministers, so there will be no major incidents. However, if the court officials of the entire state and county are bought, and the six departments in the capital, the Jinyi Guard and the Metropolitan Procuratorate do not know about it, then the problem is serious. Now he has only bought off officials to sell smuggled salt, who knows if he will buy off the officers and soldiers of the guard station to rebel? This is only in Shandong, which is close to Beizhili, who knows what the situation is on the three sides? If the border army is also bought by people with intentions like this, once the central government is shaken in the future, wouldn't it give those people a chance, resulting in a situation where Qin lost his deer and the heroes chased after him? !

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi thought about it for a night and decided to take advantage of the second day to call Ye Guan and others to Wenhuadian to listen to him talk about the problems of Tai'an Mansion, so as to see if the three elders of the cabinet could get along well.

"Your Majesty, although the opening of the Chinese method is full of drawbacks, it can alleviate the problem of lack of food and silver for the border army after the border merchants were unwilling to transport grain to the nine sides in exchange for salt. Now, if a new solution is not found and the Kaizhong Law is abolished, the imperial court will return to the situation where the border merchants hold salt in their hands, and the domestic merchants have no salt to sell, and the imperial court will not be able to collect salt taxes. Another old man in a second-grade official uniform said with a sigh.

"Forget it, this matter will be discussed later, I will listen to the fight between the prince's companion and the Marquis of Shouning first." Emperor Hongji rubbed his temples, and then prepared to settle the conflict between his son's friend and his brother-in-law.

"Ye Guan, I already know the cause and effect of your beating of Shou Ning Hou, but I can see that you deliberately put the flying fish suit I rewarded you in the jacket, just thinking that Shou Ning Hou defaced the suit and then fought to the death, right?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at the two people who were brought to the hall, smiled and said what Ye Guan thought in his heart.

"Your Majesty, although Wechen can't come up with conclusive evidence to point out that Zhen Neng colluded with smugglers of salt, Wechen can feel from the causes and consequences of these things that Zhen Neng definitely has something to do with the bandits who chased and killed Wechen. That's why Weichen couldn't help but beat him after seeing Zhen Neng, even if he was standing behind a noble like Shouning Hou, because Weichen's two subordinates protected Weichen and died, because Weichen was His Majesty's pro-army, because Weichen was His Majesty's courtier, because Weichen was a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, so he borrowed a sentence from Yasheng: Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. To borrow a sentence from Dr. Qu: I also have the desire to do what I want, although I have not regretted it after nine deaths. Weichen knew that Weichen did not do the right thing to beat Shou Ninghou, but even those imperial historians couldn't bring down Shou Ninghou, and Weichen had no other way but to beat him. Hearing the emperor say this, Ye Guan admitted it very shamefully. There is no way, the form is stronger than the person, and I have to bow my head. However, Ye Guan was very cunning and misappropriated what civil officials loved to do the most - taking the common people in the world as their own responsibility. At the same time, it also hinted at Emperor Hongzhi, if it weren't for your brother-in-law who was covering you, would you have caused so many things?

Hearing Ye Guan say this, not only Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, but even a few pavilion elders on the side also had approval in their eyes, but they were all old and sophisticated people. No one knows what they're approving of. In these years, civil officials should resist the decree in the name of righteousness for the country and the people. The emperor was dismissed, and he also had to bear a reputation for being obedient. So, their approval...... Hehe......

"Father, the son still believes what Ye Guan said. Erchen once went out of the palace to play, no, it was a secret visit to the micro-service, and I often heard that the people of the Shouning Marquis Mansion relied on the prestige of Shouning Marquis to do evil, and made people angry and resentful, and those servants should all be executed. At this time, Zhu Houzhao also walked in from outside the palace gate. Originally, he was very concerned about Ye Guan's beating of his uncle, so when he heard that his father was going to judge the case in person today, he still ran to help Ye Guan, if his father wanted to punish Ye Guan severely, he was ready to help Ye Guan intercede. So as soon as he came to the Wenhua Palace, he eavesdropped on Ye Guan's speech outside the palace gate, and when he heard Ye Guan say so impassionedly, he couldn't help but walk in and speak for Ye Guan.

Shou Ninghou was already weak for a while. When I heard my nephew say this, I couldn't help but be secretly angry, and said that my uncle was the closest, why did this stupid nephew turn his elbow out? I'm his own uncle! Can't you still stand up to Ye Guan, who has only been here for a few days?

Ye Guan saw Zhu Houzhao walking in, and immediately made up his mind. If he wants to be dealt with strictly, then Emperor Hongzhi will not let Zhu Houzhao in. Since Zhu Houzhao can come in, it means that the emperor is ready to make peace with the mud.

"Well, I also understand that you are young and frivolous and for the tragic death of your colleagues, so I am angry with Shou Ninghou, so I didn't let the third division be in charge of the trial. Otherwise, the Marquis of Shouning will inevitably have a penalty of being cut down and dismissed, and you will at least be exiled to Qiongzhou. Neither side gets any benefit. In this way, whether the 100 households who are called Zhen Neng are true or not will be sent by Dongchang to investigate, if it is true, lock it into Beijing and dig deep into the erosion of local officialdom, and be sure to do it in vain. At the same time, he was removed from the official title of Shouning Hou Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, fined for one year, and ordered to think about it behind closed doors. Ye Guan relieved himself of the authority of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and let me be a companion for my emperor with peace of mind. "Emperor Hongzhi still decided to play fifty boards each, and the sins on both sides are not serious, and the only unlucky thing is that there is no Hou Tai's Zhen Neng.

"Remember people's merits, forget people's mistakes, and be a monarch. Your Majesty Shengming. Although the three elders were dissatisfied with the emperor's decision on the appointment and dismissal of officials without going through the cabinet, they also knew not to restrict the imperial power too much, and the emperor also decided that except for the general platform of Shouning Hou, the marquis of Shouning, the rest could not be dug up. So I said flattering words, pinched my nose and endured it.

"Well, let's go down. The matter of the salt law is waiting for you to have a way to learn about it with me. I'm a little tired. "I didn't sleep well last night, and I had to hold an early dynasty today, and now there is a noon dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi, who was already in poor health, couldn't stay up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen seems to have some opinions on the disadvantages of the salt law, if it comes true, it may be able to solve the disadvantages of the overflow of illegal salt." Hearing Huangshi talk about the salt industry, Ye Guan suddenly thought of a salt law that was only implemented hundreds of years later.

"Ye Guan, you said you can solve the problem of the overflow of illicit salt? How can Huangkou children participate in military affairs. It's ridiculous, and it's not that you do it. "Shou Ninghou was originally unhappy because he was cut of power and ordered to close his door and think about it. Now that he heard Ye Guan actually say that he had a way, he couldn't help but laugh at it.

"It's ridiculous not to learn. If the Marquis of Shouning didn't know that Qin Ganluo was 12 years old, he was worshiped as the prime minister by the first emperor and got more than a dozen cities for the Qin state. It should also be known that the elder of this dynasty, Li Dongyang, was in Jingtai for six years, and when he was only eight years old, he enrolled in Shuntianfu School as a prodigy. Tianshun participated in the township examination in six years and was only 16 years old. Tianshun will be in the seven-year examination, and Tianshun will be the first in the second-class high school in the eighth year. In the first year of Chenghua, he participated in the compilation of the "Records of Xianzong", when he was only nineteen years old, the same age as the lowly position, oh, by the way, Shou Ninghou was removed from the post of Tongzhi. The humble position was changed to a lower official, so as not to touch the sadness of the Hou Ye. Dare to ask Hou Ye, which of those two was famous when he was not a Huangkou child, is it comparable to Hou Ye? What was Hou Ye doing when he was eight years old? It's definitely not going to be a diaper bed, right, Master Hou?! Ye Guan heard Shou Ninghou laughing at his young age, and he was not angry in his heart, so he made sarcastic remarks, and Ya probably figured out the temper of Emperor Hongzhi. As long as it doesn't touch his bottom line, he generally won't get angry.

Hearing Ye Guan talk about Li Dongyang's past, the two old men couldn't help but look at the other old man with a smile, and the old man also smiled a little embarrassedly, but none of them spoke. They all knew that since the kid in front of them didn't admit defeat at all, there must be something to follow, so they wanted to continue to listen to what he had to say.

Shou Ninghou was ridiculed by Ye Guan for a while, and suddenly blushed and said: "You are not Li Ge Lao, can you compare with Li Ge Lao?" ”

Ye Guan smiled: "You are not me, how can you know that I can't compare with Li Gelao?" ”
