Chapter 458: Qingzhang's Great Achievement, Nephew is Unfilial
readx;
Feng Bao is greedy for money, everyone in the palace knows that from the first year of Wanli to the present, the money obtained from several raids has not entered the palace in accordance with the rules, but has gone into Feng Bao's private pocket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Money and small things, whether it is the two queen mothers or the Wanli Emperor, they all turn a blind eye to this, and it seems that this Feng Bao instructed to set up a card in Cangzhou to collect taxes. "Otomo's side...... No, Zhang Piece will accompany you to ask! Don't say that I mean it, just mention it privately. ā
Emperor Wanli frowned and pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth to command, his face was also quite strange, Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng thought about the same, a character like Feng Bao would not do such a stingy thing.
Hearing Emperor Wanli's orders, Zhang Cheng hurriedly took the order, but the corners of his eyebrows twitched unnoticedly, if other people in the palace were involved in this matter, I am afraid that the little emperor would have to slap the table and shout again, but it can be said that Feng Bao was immediately much quieter, when would his family have such a powerful position.
As soon as Zhang Cheng walked to the door, Zhao Jinliang outside opened the curtain, but Emperor Wanli asked behind him, "Is it the slave maid under the big companion?" "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, the slaves and maids who ran the errand heard that they had something to do with Gonggong Feng, so they didn't dare to continue to investigate." He replied lightly, and Emperor Wanli only said "oh".
At the court meeting on the ninth day of the first month of June, the Wanli Emperor had just sat down, and the eunuchs on the side finished singing with their voices.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the world's acres of land were cleared, a total of 7,003,976 hectares of fields in the world, this item, an increase of 3 million hectares compared with the time of filial piety to the emperor, the acres of land are abundant, the treasury will be naturally full in the future, the world's income will be used calmly, prosperous and peaceful, can have such great achievements, this is Your Majesty's holy heaven, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty!"
Tian Fu is the economic foundation of the Ming Empire, Zhang Juzheng began to clear the world after taking power, this year has been in the middle of the eighth year of Wanli, and it is indeed a great achievement.
The tax base has nearly doubled, and the annual tax collection has naturally doubled, in fact, in the past few years, the treasury has become more and more abundant, and the imperial court has a lot of money.
Emperor Wanli was the most concerned about the matter of wealth, although he had received the news a few days ago, the smile on his face could not be suppressed.
When the ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion saw this situation, they all had to have fun, and they all praised and said: "It is all thanks to Your Majesty's Shengming that there is this great cause!" Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to help him, and said: "All Aiqing have worked hard, and this time Qingzhang has his own reward." "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The people below are thankful again, this procedure has passed, everyone has entered the ranks, Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Juzheng, groaned out of the column and said: "Your Majesty, the military department received a report from Liaodong yesterday, and the brigade of the thief chief Wutang was defeated by the soldiers and horses of Liao, pursued for three hundred miles, and ......won a great victory."
Halfway through the words, the Hubu Shangshu Ma Ziqiang, who had just gotten up, knelt down again, he was in his sixties, his white beard was fluttering, but his voice was very high, and he said there:
"Your Majesty, the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu is needless to say, Zhang Ge Lao presided over the implementation and strategized, so that there is a great good deed of Qingzhang, and the minister asks for merit for Zhang Ge Lao, and Zhang Ge Lao should take credit."
The eyes in Wenyuan Pavilion are all focused on the body of Ma Ziqiang, the head of the household, and everyone is secretly scolding in their hearts, Ma Ziqiang in the court is old, and he is about to return to his hometown, flattering Zhang Juzheng is so eager.
But these bigwigs don't hate Ma Shangshu eagerly, but hate him for taking the lead, clearing the acres of land, and almost washing the officials of the provinces in the world, and the rest are Zhang Gelao's disciples, which is not enough, but the tax base can be doubled, and the treasury revenue will be nearly doubled, which is an immortal feat.
Zhang Juzheng's cabinet auxiliary, as the emperor's teacher, and the trust of Empress Dowager Li, and with such immortal feats, there is no room for others to insert needles in the court, and they will not flatter when.
As soon as Ma Gqiang's words for merit were finished, Emperor Wanli looked at Zhang Juzheng beside him, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the ministers in the room all knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, such a great achievement, Zhang Ge Lao should be in the position, and the ministers will ask for credit for Zhang Ge Lao!? ā
Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair, Nikko looked ahead, he could feel that Zhang Juzheng beside him was looking at him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Mr. Zhang has such a great achievement, I have long thought about rewarding, what you ministers think is thinking of one thing and I have thought of it, get up, I will make an order in a few days!" "Your Majesty Shengming!!" At this time, Zhang Juzheng turned around and bowed, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Qingzhang Tianmu has such a result, not the work of the ministers alone, but the hard work of the officials in the world for several years, and please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to praise the loyal hearts of the ministers." "What Mr. Zhang said is, Zhang Cheng, let's draw up a will according to this!" Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded and said, Shen Shixing, a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, has always been how others do it, and he followed suit, but at this time, he peeked at the cabinet scholar on the side, Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the military department, Zhang Siwei's face seemed to darken slightly, and then returned to normal.
I don't know when it began, the Wanli Emperor after the Scattered Dynasty no longer sat in the imperial study, but went somewhere.
Zhang Cheng spent a lot more time in the room than before, and this kind of will to comfort the world is the easiest to write, and the official document format that has been handed down from ancient times to the present is nothing more than a change of name.
The eunuch Zhang Cheng has been working hard for decades on the official documents, and it is naturally done overnight, very simple, and as soon as he finished writing, Feng Bao in the inner room beckoned him in.
Qingzhang Tianmu has such a great achievement, the treasury will be better than many years, everyone is naturally happy, the master of ceremonies is also the center of the world, the eunuchs are in a much happier mood, when Zhang Cheng entered the room, Feng Bao smiled and looked at an excerpt, quite relaxed. "Today, Lao Ma has done something too much in the court, he is a veteran of three dynasties, and his status is like this, and he is so flattering and flattering to such a point, it is really embarrassing.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said:
"There are rumors in the market that Master Ma's son is doing things in the Ministry of Industry this year, and it is said that he should be promoted to the next level this year, but Master Li of the Ministry of Officials held it down, so he asked Zhang Ge Lao to come forward.
Feng Bao sneered and said casually: "It's all Zhang Ge's old people, and they are still intriguing with each other there, not the old ......grudges of the two of them in the Hanlin Academy" Zhang Cheng smiled next, but Feng Bao said:
"The so-called news in the market was found out by the Department of Public Security, this yamen is doing well, and there is silver sent to the palace, Dongchang and Jinyiwei don't know how much silver will be corrupted, and nothing has been done!"
Speaking of the Department of Public Security, Zhang Cheng was a little cautious, although the Department of Public Security was easy to use, but it was also inconvenient for Wanli to call the factory guard, everyone thought it was right, but it was really hard to say what he thought in his heart, so he simply changed his mind and said:
"Gonggong Feng, a few days ago, Wang Tong submitted a letter to the side, saying that Cangzhou would set up a card on the canal, imitating Tianjin Wei's side to collect taxes on passing ships, I wonder if Dongchang has reported it?"
When it comes to three points, everyone is a smart person, and they will understand when they swallow it, but they didn't expect Feng Bao to be stunned, and said:
"Cangzhou Hu Gao, set up a card over there, mess up the merchant ships that went to Tianjin Wei, Cangzhou will not leave any silver, ridiculous, see the confused people who are open-eyed, thinking that Wang Tong just set up a card to do such a big one-one-rone-one-one" "Don't hide that Gonggong Feng said that there is news in the i1 palace that there is some involvement with your father-in-law. Zhang Cheng said in a low voice, over there Feng Bao slowly raised his head, suddenly smiled, and said:
"I really didn't expect that this incident is nothing, but it makes the outside think that our family is still looking at this little ruthenium in their eyes, and they really can't afford to lose their face, Father-in-law Zhang, send someone to Cangzhou quickly, and change the local officials, since it can be involved in our family, it is estimated that there are also a few characters in the palace and outside the palace, so you don't have to worry about it."
On June 11, the celebrant and the cabinet quickly went through the formalities, and the messenger left Beijing and went straight to Cangzhou, a Zhizhou, and the court did not look at it.
Zhang Cheng just walked into the house of the celebrant with a stack of folds, but saw Zou Yikui in a red robe bowing in the corner, Zhang Cheng frowned, and said: "You are also in charge of Liukelang now, and those sneaky habits raised by the public security department must also be changed. ā
In response to Zhang Cheng's reprimand, Zou Yifu bent down a little more and said:
"The father-in-law taught me a lesson, but if the son of the celebrant is too much, Father-in-law Feng is not happy, it is better to avoid suspicion, yesterday afternoon, Father-in-law Feng called Feng Youning, who was in charge of the execution of a thousand households in Dongchang, and slapped him a few times and scolded him." Zhang Cheng shook his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Feng Youning has the identity of an earl, and he is still so petty, if he pries on this matter, it is right." ā
"Last night, Xu Qingshan, the left attendant of the household department, went to Zhang Ge Lao to ask for guilt, Zhang Ge Lao didn't come out to see him, he entered the courtyard and passed on a word, and Jin Yiwei's report said that Xu Qingshan cried a lot after he went back." "Why don't you cry, Lao Ma will retire in two months, the position is his, such a toss, I'm afraid it's flying!" Listening to Zou Yi's narration, Zhang Cheng's interest rose, and Zou Yi said with a smile: "What my father-in-law said is that just now there was a news from the Department of Public Security, saying that Zhang Xueyan, the right attendant of the household department, accepted Ma Shangshu's invitation and asked him to go to Qinlou for dinner in the evening. ā
