Prelude to Chapter 1006
In the summer of the fifth year of Jiajing, it was very hot in Beijing, although it was only early summer, and the weather was already sultry. The ministers were wearing heavy official uniforms, and on their foreheads, beads of sweat were layered one after another, not to mention the stinky sweat on their bodies. Even if the time of the early dynasty is early, if you stick to it, you will sweat and sweat your clothes.
First, a few things that didn't matter, and then, the Son of Heaven distributed Xu Zhen and Zhang Shiheng's recitals, handed them over to the ministers for circulation, and said:
"When the mausoleum of the first emperor was built, because the treasury was empty and the state was insufficient, it was simple and perfunctory, and the first emperor was unstable under the nine springs. Now the country is sufficient, the imperial court has a wide range of Jisu, Taicang is full, I decided, ordered Cheng Tianwei to command Xu Zhen to repair the imperial mausoleum. The Ministry of Industry will send personnel to co-organize. The inner treasury allocated 400,000 taels of silver, and Taicang allocated 200,000 taels of silver, totaling 600,000 yuan, as the cost of work. The deficiencies are levied by the Huguang locality, what do the secretaries think? ”
When Yang Tinghe looked at these absurd twists and turns, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, when the Ming Dynasty could not lack such a fool. Zhang Shiheng is a fly, and he can kill him with a flick of his fingers. As for this Xu Zhen, he knows that the Son of Heaven takes care of An Lu's old ministers, so let's ignore it and find another opportunity to beat it in the future.
But when the Son of Heaven finished saying this, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at the noble class quietly, the source of these information was the people who tended to his own faction among these noble and military ministers.
He also knew that it was feasible to ask these people to report the news, and in private, they would be closer to him in their positions. But they are noble and military ministers after all, and if they are allowed to openly stand up and stand on the same line with themselves to help the field, this possibility is too small. If you want to obstruct the emperor, you still have to look at your own side.
Those who can contribute to the Son of Heaven, the Guozi Priest Jiu Yan Song, and the scholar Gu Dingchen, these people seem to have no signs of agreeing at present. Even if they wanted to, they might not have the courage, Yang Tinghe had already made preparations before, as long as these people dared to speak, he would make them pay the price.
The more difficult to deal with is the grandson of the country, but since he became the head of the country, he has rarely spoken in the government, and his presence in the cabinet is close to nothing. After his resignation was rejected, he took a long-term sick leave, stayed at home, and would not come out to fight against him.
Another person who is qualified and capable of causing trouble? Yang Tinghe's eyes scanned at high speed, and found that there was no shadow of Yang Chengzu on Wuban's side, and it seemed that he was still pretending to be sick today. In this case, that is to say, today's court discussion is not a gathering of momentum by the Son of Heaven, but purely a temporary idea? Then there's nothing to be afraid of.
He didn't speak, or rather, when he was in his position, he didn't speak casually. Once he speaks, it often means that no matter who he is, there is no way back, and from the perspective of stabilizing the government, it is better not to come to this step easily. Fortunately, as the head of the civil ministers, he did not lack troops at his hands, and there were enough people to advise him.
Those who can go to the palace, except for the imperial historians, are all ministers with a certain status and grade in the court, and Yang Tinghe doesn't really have to say hello, he only made a few small movements, and someone immediately responded.
Zhao Huang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate. The tomb of the emperor should be based on the example of the vassal king, and the emperor of the birth of the emperor, although he was chased by the emperor's name, but when he died, he was always the vassal king, and the tomb should be based on the vassal king. According to the pattern of the vassal king, the dedication of the tomb has exceeded the system, please take back your majesty's destiny and think twice. ”
Qin Jin, the secretary of the household department, also stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." In recent years, the imperial court has used force in the southeast and prepared for capture in the northwest, Guangxi Yaodong has objections from time to time, and the territory has trained more new troops, all of the above expenses are large, the people's wealth has been exhausted, the people's strength has been poor, it is time to recuperate and recuperate, in order to restore the people's strength, it is not appropriate to build construction and spend national funds. And the dedication of the mausoleum was just completed before the year, and now it is going to be rebuilt, is it that when it was originally repaired, there were loopholes in the mausoleum, and now it has just been discovered, so it is eager to fill the gap? If the Mausoleum is rebuilt, please arrest and imprison the person who presided over the construction of the Mausoleum in advance, and the Judicial Department will investigate his guilt in detail before making a decision. ”
With the above two people taking the lead, there were more than a dozen ministers in the court who rushed out immediately. Among these people, some are high-ranking officials in the ministry, and some hold important positions in the temple system, holding heavy power, and they are all pivotal figures in the operation of the imperial court. When they spoke together, even the emperor could not promulgate the decree. After all, the holy decree is to be carried out by them, and if these people are dissatisfied with the holy decree, even if they forcibly push it, most of them will not be able to do it, and they will offend people in vain.
Yang Tinghe's eyes closed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this is his ideal court scene, the cabinet has retreated enough before, this time, it is impossible to retreat again.
Just when more than a dozen members of the ministry began to analyze the interests and disadvantages, and stated the importance of not building a large number of buildings, one of the officials of the science and Taoism suddenly flashed out, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the words of the princes are ...... false."
"Yang Tinghe is the head of the cabinet and controls most of the officials, in fact, not only civilian officials, but also military generals, he also has a wide range of contacts. After all, he is a scholar and a famous Confucian, and many people learn things from him, or learn to be a person, since he is a teacher, those people have to listen to the teacher. In addition, he can control the second department of the soldiers and control everyone's promotion, what can he do if he doesn't listen to him? However, there are always exceptions to things, and there are some people who don't care about the identity of their opponents, and just want to get out of the position and make a reputation. Small knives and saws big trees, this kind of thing, is the most convenient to be famous, just like the rivers and lakes, challenging a famous swordsman is the best way for a young swordsman to get ahead. Therefore, no matter how powerful Yang Tinghe is, there will be some officials who are willing to come out and oppose him, even if they are really degraded, they can also have a good reputation, and it is still worth it for them. In today's court, Yang Tinghe will not do it easily, but when his people do it, he will find that the situation is not under his control. ”
In the palace of Princess Yongshou, the creator of this conflict, embraced Princess Yongshou and narrated his analysis. On the one hand, Yongchun, who slipped from Baiyian to his sister's house, peeled grapes and fed them to his brother-in-law's mouth. Occasionally, Yang Chengzu took the opportunity to lick her fingers, which made her satisfied.
Looking at the closeness of the two, Yongshou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The two of them were so close in front of them, and in the Baiyi Nunnery, they didn't know what it looked like, so they coughed and asked, "Chengzu, then according to you, what is the result of today's court discussion?" ”
"There will be no result, as soon as the official shows up, he will fight a bad battle, and in the end he can't talk about anything. In the court, they are all middle and high-grade officials, and Yang Tinghe occupies the absolute main force, but I have already given Banzai an idea, this matter, to make all the officials discuss, that is, to make the crowd base larger, in the small officials below, although Yang Tinghe has many people, but our people, there will be more, and he will have trouble at that time. I think it's just a time-consuming, and in the afternoon, Banzai should summon me into the palace and talk about the early dynasty, and tonight, it is estimated that I will come later. ”
Yongshou pushed him when he heard this, "Since this is the case, then don't waste time, go and accompany your heart and liver, and don't pay attention to me, an old woman." ”
Yongchun came over to tickle his sister's itch, and when he saw that she was rejuvenated, Yongshou's heart was a little better. Although he took away his most precious treasure, his sister was very happy, and that was enough. The two sisters teased for a while, and then they all fell into Yang Chengzu's hands, and the two shouted for help, and were picked up by him and walked to the bedroom. Let your world be turned upside down, and I will indulge myself in the future.
