Chapter 925: The Monarch and the Ministers (I)

"Haha, interesting, really interesting. this kind of thing, in fact, there is nothing new to talk about, over and over again, it's those things, everyone walks in the queue and shouts a few times. But today, it was the Franc machine and the bird's gun, and there were two hours of non-stop killing, and when the three major battalions were drilling, they didn't even dare to think about it. But the most enjoyable thing is not these, but the sound that we don't recognize except for long live. Big brother, you said, if I had said at the time, let them kill Shangshu and kill the ministers, what would they do. ”

"They don't know who is the cabinet minister and who is the Shangshu, but they will definitely kill them with a knife, and they will kill whoever Banzai refers to. Including the ministers, there will be no softness. ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing and Yang Chengzu, who had finished the exercise, sat opposite each other in the palace, and there was a royal banquet with all kinds of fruits and Panlong dishes as the main dish in front of them. For this dish, Jiajing has a special feeling, and he has to eat it almost every few days.

This very sharing spirit of the Son of Heaven, in the spirit of being happy alone is better than being happy with all, he also began to promote this dish in the court, and the most direct way is that every time he entertains his cronies at a royal banquet, there will inevitably be this dish. In the past two years, a consensus has been formed in the palace that whoever is eligible to be rewarded for eating Panlong dishes is qualified to be counted as Jane's henchman in the emperor's heart.

However, unlike in the past, in the past two years, even Tao Zhongwen Tao Immortal was known as the first saint, and he must have a share of Panlong dishes when he eats them, but today's Yang Chengzu is the same Panlong dish as the Son of Heaven. As the only witness, Zhang Zuo was relieved and a little jealous.

Originally, the advantage of the ministers over the ministers was that they were always by the side of the Son of Heaven and their cronies were the first. But now it seems that he, a lieutenant, is not as favored as this foreign minister after all. Fortunately, my brain didn't pump, and in these three days, I didn't accept the gifts of those people, and I didn't say a word more in front of Banzai.

has the relationship between Concubine Fang and the other nine beauties, and Yang Chengzu's worst outcome this time is just dismissal, if Xue Niang's matter is included, he may not even be dismissed. But what really made Jiajing so happy, Yang Chengzu wanted to come, or the disarming incident.

The Son of Heaven was obviously very interested, and he talked a lot with him, from the changes in the political pattern in Jingshili to the kicking of Empress Chen to death, to the construction of the Emperor's mausoleum, etc., but it was like a pair of brothers gossiping.

While eating the vegetable rolls in his hand, Jiajing said: "The eldest brother said at the beginning that there are many capable people in the government and the opposition, but there are very few people who are willing to contribute to the court. Now that I think about it, that's really the case. Take those people today, Jin Shunju and Li Qianfu are all masters who have led soldiers to fight. If you let them train their soldiers, they will definitely be able to train to this point, but the soldiers they train will definitely not listen to me alone. Take the border areas as an example, it is said that the soldiers in some places only recognize their own generals, and if they change someone to take over, they may not be able to suppress the field. Only these 9,000 people, they will do whatever I tell them to do, and whoever I let them take care of, they will listen to whomever they want, this is the army I want. In the future, I must spread these missionary officers, and send them to the troops everywhere, which will definitely be better than the prison army. ”

"It is true that the missionary officer may be better than the prison army, but the key is to make the soldier understand that he is a soldier of long live, not someone else's. Once they have done this, they will only cut people, and they will not ask why they are being cut, what is the sin of the person being cut, and those are not the questions they should consider. These people are knives, and the role of knives is to cut people. Deciding who to cut is the business of the person with the knife, the knife itself, and there is no need to think about the reason. They just need to think about how to cut more accurately, harder, and faster. The five battalions of the training battalion, 15,000 men and horses, transferred to the southeast, Tuen Mun, and now there are more than 13,000 people, these people are the quick knives of the Son of Heaven, and they can kill people for Banzai at any time. ”

Jiajing nodded: "What a quick knife!" I saw the edge of this knife, and it definitely fits. Kill the Japanese in the southeast, kill happily! Yang Shen and the eldest brother's twists and turns, I watch it every time, compared with the old example of Wuzong, when Wuzong was in the Dynasty, I didn't see that I could kill the real Japanese thousand-level, only this one, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, who can do it? But I'm still wronged by my eldest brother, obviously you took the money for me, but in the end you were asked to carry this reputation, which is a failure for me brother. ”

"Long live don't say that, do you do the lining, do the lining, do the dirty work, no one wants to do the work, I do it. In fact, it is reasonable for them to impeach me, I do maritime trade, grain, silk, and porcelain, which is robbing them of their money. Naturally, they want to eat my flesh and skin, and if one day I do it and let everyone praise me, then this official really shouldn't be doing it. ”

Jiajing laughed, "A few days ago, someone was here and talked to me about Taoism. As you said, Big Brother, he is indeed emphasizing the Tao, not the technique. He agrees with you and thinks you've broken the Dao, so I suggest that I put you on the shelf and wait until you understand what the Tao is. It's useless to say how beautiful the words are, I understand his thoughts. The Jinyi Guard has been restored, and you have returned from the southeast, and everyone knows that I will use you to take charge of the Jinyi. They don't want this, you and I have the same heart, you come to take care of the brocade guard, their lives are not easy. If you can be idle for a few years, and hand over the position of commander to someone like Zhu Chen, when you come out again in a few years, the entire brocade will be wasted. When the time comes, whether to cut or not, it will be the same, and they can't help it anyway. ”

In fact, not only Jinyiwei, but also Yang Ji, the operation of this kind of shop also relies on strong power protection. If Yang Chengzu is really dismissed from office, or if he is taken back from real power, then such a large shop will nominally have no reliable backer, and the situation will not be maintained. There will be many people who will come out to suppress and attack Yang Ji, and then it will be split, and a piece of the pie on his huge corpse will be fattened.

Yang Kee's welfare measures will be stopped, measures such as food security will be completely abolished, and food prices will return to what they used to be. The popularity that Yang Ji gathered before, because of the bankruptcy of this kind of credit, will also be consumed. Even if Yang Chengzu makes a comeback in the future, with this lesson from the past, Yang Ji will not be able to drive again.

Jiajing sighed, "I actually don't understand a little, those masters talk about the truth one by one, when they are at the feast, they can talk about the way of a saint for me, and they can talk eloquently, and they can't wait to make me a saint." But the result? Now that Yang Ji has come out, the price of grain in Jingshi has dropped by two-thirds, and with it, the price of other commodities is also decreasing. They don't know that the imperial sister often goes out to buy things, what doesn't she know? This is a good thing, things are cheaper, the common people can eat, the peasants can farm at home with peace of mind, there are fewer displaced people in the city, no one thinks that they must live, and then they rise up and rebel, they are not happy. What about the saints who said good? Doesn't it mean that the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe? ”

"Because in their eyes, these people are not people." Yang Chengzu casually dropped a meat roll and munched unbridledly, "Not all those who can talk and pant when they walk on two legs are regarded by them as the people." When these people say they love the people, they don't love those who farm and have no jobs, let alone those who want to rebel because they have no food and lodging. They say that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, but in fact, Yang Ji's grain purchase price is set according to normal seasons. In disaster years, rice was as expensive as pearls on the market, and the price of grain for those farmers did not rise. It's just that when they are sold, the money is added, and the people who farm the fields do not have a high income in the disaster year, but on the contrary, they will starve to death. When the harvest year comes, there is more grain, and when the rice is harvested, the price will be reduced, but in the end, the grain is planted more, and the income falls. Yang Ji's grain was purchased and sold in a unified manner, without seeking profits, and smashed the rice bowl in their hands, so they naturally hated me and wanted to cut me with a thousand knives. ”
