Chapter 1112: Wanli's Small Moves

Tang Yi and the Jin Party's enmity, naturally needless to say, he ruthlessly pitted others, and the family foundation for one or two hundred years was almost cleaned, and all the characters who could be used on the table were overturned. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The most terrible thing is that the Jin merchants were originally the biggest financiers of the various yamen, and even the emperor owed them money, which is also the secret of the Jin merchants colluding with Mongolia, smuggling on a large scale, and making huge profits without failing. As a result, he ran into Tang Yi, a bastard, and with a beautiful debt swap, he completely kicked Jin Shang out of the financial circle in the capital.

In recent years, although the Jin merchants have relied on hard work, woolen spinning, and border trade, they have recovered some vitality, but they have lost their financial hegemony forever.

Not long ago, Tang Yi promoted the overseas opening of China and France, Wanli three years, 20 million stone of overseas grain influx, Tang Yi took this opportunity to completely break the monopoly of the two Huai salt merchants, salt merchants are no longer a monopoly business, as long as there are sufficient qualifications, pay a deposit, rent a beach, you can produce salt.

Moreover, due to the vigorous promotion of dried salt, the original boiled salt was eliminated, and as a result, the price of salt plummeted, and the people got cheap salt, and the salt tax of the imperial court exceeded 20 million yuan in one go. Only the former salt merchants, whose glory is no longer there, will either change careers or drown in obscurity.

The salt merchants were originally in the same breath as the Jin merchants, and they were grasshoppers on a rope, but the salt merchants were even worse than the Jin merchants, and the Jin party, which had been calling for wind and rain in the court, completely stopped cooking.

Cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, this hatred is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!

Wang Jiaping, as the new generation leader of the Jin Party, is capable, decisive, and usually low-key, very well received by all parties, and has great respect for Tang Yi, but no matter what, Tang Yi can't let go, he won't be naΓ―ve enough to make everyone in the world like you.

"Teacher, Wang Jiaping is deep and introverted, and he is by no means a simple character. What's more, although the Jin Party suffered heavy losses, there were still 3,000 big nails when the ship was broken, and it was impossible not to guard against it. According to the disciple's opinion, it is better to let Lu Tiaoyang enter the cabinet. ”

Lu Tiaoyang is a Jinshi in Jiajing's 29th year, it is Tang Ruji's subject, Tang Ruji is the champion, he is the leader, his old classmates have been a university scholar for ten years, and he was transferred to senior minister, Lu Tiaoyang's qualifications for entering the cabinet are absolutely enough.

"No." Tang Yi shook his head slightly, Lu Tiaoyang has been in the office for more than 20 years, deep-rooted, well-connected, he has a good relationship with Tang Ruji, and Zhu Heng, if he enters the cabinet, he will definitely pull away some of the representatives of the political conference, thus forming a strong royalist party.

Tang Yi can also see at this time that the various rules he has set have indeed played a role, who wants to abolish the parliamentary council, abolish the power of the cabinet, and restore the original six-ministry system, it is not a dream.

Not to mention anything else, just hundreds of thousands of officials, they will lose their jobs if they restore the old system, who can bear it, and not turn the sky over?

Since it is impossible to work the front, he chooses to integrate into Tang Yi's system, rebel internally, win over various forces, and use the authority of the emperor to break the situation of the Tang Party's domination of the world......

Obviously, the struggle for the cabinet has reached a completely new situation.

"Ru Mo, is the teacher's sense of smell a little poor, and he has become a little sluggish, everyone has made a move, but he has not moved." Tang Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Old, Elder Yan Ge has encountered this kind of situation, and the same is true for Elder Xu Ge, now it's my turn." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head like a rattle, Tang Yi is purely pretending to be garlic, you are less than forty years old, young and tender, change into a Confucian shirt, go out for a spin, and ensure that someone will treat him as a new science and technology scholar, if you are old, the disciples should go home to recuperate!

But after thinking about it, Tang Yi's words may not be wrong, he has been in the office for more than 20 years, ups and downs, anti-Japanese resistance in the southeast, expulsion of the Yan party, the north of the imperial Yu Da, the implementation of the Longqing New Deal, and the disposal of the Li family......

Everything is earth-shattering, and if others can complete one, it is enough to shine in history, Tang Yi has done so much, how much effort has been spent, and he feels tired and tired, which is naturally understandable.

The problem is that your old man can't hold on, what can we do?

"Master, the disciple thinks that they are just a small fight, and they are not a climate at all, your old man can reach out and destroy them anytime and anywhere, don't worry at all."

"Don't pour me ecstasy soup!" Tang Yi smiled, "Since it is the imperial court, it must accommodate all kinds of forces, and it is impossible to go up and down, they are all our people." The pass is the overall situation in our hands! ”

Tang Yi pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "In this way, go find Lu Guangzu, and if he wants, he will be sent to the cabinet together!" ”

……

In the sixth year of Wanli, Yin Shidan ignored the retention, returned to his hometown to worry, and two years later, he died of illness at home, and was given the title of Taibao and the name of literature.

After Yin Shidan left, after a fierce competition, Lu Guangzu, the former secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Tiaoyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, the squire of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Wang Jiaping, the governor of Cangchang, entered the cabinet, and the number of cabinet scholars increased to nine.

Among these nine people, Xu Guo, Lu Tiaoyang, and Wang Jiaping were the representatives, and they gradually formed a royalist party.

And the first assistant Tang Yi, the second assistant Cao Dazhang, the auxiliary ministers Wei Xuezeng, Tan Lun, Shen Shixing, Lu Guangzu, the six of them are all in the same vein of heart and learning, maintaining an overwhelming advantage, and all major policies are still under Tang Yi's control.

The whole new policy was still operating at a high speed, and in the seventh year of Wanli, Tang Yi sent a total of thirteen governors to Nanyang, seven of whom were from the military. The remaining six Yishui Mind Scholars, led by Yu Youding and Luo Wanhua, these thirteen governors, in principle, must accept the control of Tang Shen, the governor of Nanyang.

Tang Shen's main force was in Malacca, and the rest of Luzon, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Annam, Siam, Burma, Laos, New Guinea, and even Sri Lanka and India were garrisoned by Ming officials and soldiers, established trading bases, and operated colonial companies.

The total number of Han immigrants from overseas, plus the local Han Chinese, exceeded 20 million.

almost created another empire overseas, and this empire is much simpler than the Ming Court, from top to bottom, all of them are Tang Yi's henchmen.

Of course, the Tang Party is actively deploying overseas, and the royalists are not without success.

In the sixth year of Wanli, the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was born, and because of his humble background in history, he was not liked by Wanli, so that for him, Wanli and the ministers fought differently for decades.

Today's Wanli strives to portray himself as a loving father, and when Zhu Changluo turned one year old, he proposed to be the crown prince.

After preparations, in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo, who was less than three years old, officially became the crown prince, and at the same time, Emperor Wanli also ended his three-year military school career.

Zhu Yijun completely took off the youthfulness of a teenager, he is not as heavy and fat as the Zhu family, but more like his mother, with beautiful eyebrows and slender figures, and a very beautiful young man's posture.

Moreover, his grades in the military academy turned out to be all excellent, and around him, a large number of young classmates gathered, and I heard that they all swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor in private, and they did not swerve until death.

There is another thing that Tang Yi paid great attention to, not long ago, Wang Shizhen found Tang Yi, and he told Tang Yi angrily that there was a Shangshan Poetry Society in the southeast now.

Among them, there are four people in charge, who are Li Panlong, Xie Zhen, Xu Zhongxing, and Wu Guolun.

These four are the fourth of the "Later Seven Sons" named after Wang Shizhen, and they can be regarded as Confucian celebrities with considerable prestige among the people, and the four of them got together to establish a poetry society, which is not strange, but this name is too imaginative.

Tang Yi couldn't help but think of an allusion: Shangshan Sihao!

It turned out that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, liked Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, and wanted to abolish Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, who was shocked and hurriedly looked for Zhang Liang to find a way.

Zhang Liang suggested hiring Shangshan Sihao to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Ying.

Shangshan Sihao was the fourth of the seventy doctors in the period of Qin Shi Huang, and later escaped the war and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Under the operation of Zhang Liang, Tang Bing, Duke of Dongyuan, Cui Guang of Xia Huang, Wu Shi of Qili Ji, and Zhou Shu of Mr. Luli, the four of them went out of the mountain together.

Li Panlong and others used Shangshan as the name of the poetry society, and it happened that there were four people again, and the meaning was by no means simple.

"Okay, I don't understand, why are the four of them in a hurry to hold Wanli's stinky feet? I wrote to Li Panlong, telling him not to mislead others, but he taught me a lesson, saying that the ruler and the minister are like the sun, moon and stars, and that His Majesty is wise, diligent and studious, and has reached adulthood, so he should be pro-government and govern the world. If - if the cabinet hands over power, it is a good deed of Zhou Gong, it will definitely be famous all over the world and admired by all generations, if you hold on to the power, I am afraid that it is worse than the treacherous minister Yan Song! ”

Wang Shizhen was so angry that she stomped her feet, "What are these beasts in their heads?" The great governance of the world is all done, and the credit of the cabinet princes, the little emperor is very good as a tablet, why bother to get a master and press on everyone's heads, I think they are really crazy! It's a shame that I'm on the same level as these people! ”

Tang Yi is obviously more sensitive than his eldest brother, from the appearance of royalists in the court to the emergence of the Shangshan Poetry Society in the local area, there is obviously a big hand, constantly pushing behind the scenes, they are using the banner of Wanli, playing the emperor's signboard, actively expanding the number of people, ready to seize power.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

Tang Yi sighed slightly, people's forgetfulness is really great, in less than ten years of hard work, they have forgotten their fears, and they want to go against themselves, and they don't know whether to praise them for their courage or ignorance and fearlessness.

"Just let them make trouble, and I'll see if I can play any tricks."

Tang Yi still stood still, but in August, suddenly there was a solar eclipse in the capital, and it took less than three minutes before and after. At present, many of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have accepted the earth circle and said that they will not be afraid of any solar eclipse, but the people, as well as some old-fashioned officials, are panicked, and some people have written to ask the court to review the maladministration, rescue it in time, and conform to the will of the people.

Wanli, who had just graduated from the military academy, suddenly sent a handbook to the cabinet, he said that the sun has an eclipse, it is the responsibility of the king, he has not visited the mausoleum of the emperor for three years since he entered the military academy, and wants to go to Tianshou Mountain to pay tribute to Longqing.
