Chapter 233: The First Early Dynasty

Before dawn, a crescent moon and a few remnant stars hung in the sky. A soft sedan chair left the house of tension in Beijing, headed south, and went straight to West Chang'an Street.

The sedan chair walked steadily, and tension sat in it, closing his eyes and recuperating.

I received news yesterday that the emperor was going to ask about Liaodong this morning, and as Ning Yuan's soldiers, he was named and asked to be present.

Originally, the early dynasty had no relationship with the magistrate of Yongle Tongbao, which was the patent of the Jingguan - unless he asked about Liaodong.

The imperial court didn't want to mention the matter in Liaodong at all, but it had to be mentioned, because yesterday an ancestor had a birthday of 800 miles and an urgent report - Ning Yuan mutinied because of the trouble!

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed, everyone basically understands this matter, maybe Zu Dashou's concubine 'Double Eleven' is short of money, and Zu Dashou doesn't want to chop off her hand, so he can only ask the emperor for 'reimbursement'.

The Ministry of Pension and Household Affairs has just allocated a batch of them, and now it is naturally impossible to apply for 'reimbursement', so the word 'mutiny' has been added.

Zhang Zhang sighed, and secretly thought to himself: Chongzhen, the emperor, is really aggrieved, a rich man, and it is difficult for a man without money.

……

In the Taihe Palace, Zhang Li stood in the last position of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and his heels were almost next to the big threshold of the Taihe Palace.

The hall was divided into two factions, and they had been arguing for an hour.

Zhang Zhang was already calloused: the Donglin Party asked the emperor to levy more Liao, and the non-Donglin Party asked the emperor to open a new 'Fu Salary'.

To put it bluntly, the Donglin Party means that the Liao salary will be levied from 8 million taels to 9 million taels.

Non-Donglin Party officials insisted that the 8 million taels of Liao salary could not be changed, but instead opened a new project to levy 1 million taels of 'pension' from the common people.

Zhang Zhang secretly slandered. Didn't this Nima take off her pants and fart?!

Now the officials have unanimously agreed to increase the tax, only in the name of the tax. Going around and around......

The tension of attending the early dynasty conference for the first time had only one thought, the Ming Dynasty. It's really going to die!

Emperor Chongzhen sat upright on the dragon chair and looked coldly at the civil and military ministers in the main hall.

There is only one feeling in Chongzhen's heart at this moment, and that is despair.

I still remember the first year of Chongzhen, every time the court discussed, I was so angry that I trembled, blushing and talking about national affairs with the ministers.

Later, the early dynasty became more and more 'harmonious', and Chongzhen often didn't say a word, because he knew that excitement was superfluous.

Chongzhen even thought about moving the dragon bed to the Taihe Hall one day. If you get some sleep on your own, you shouldn't be delayedβ€”the ministers will certainly not be done arguing when they wake up.

Grandpa Emperor Wanli has not been in court for decades, and it seems that it is not without reason.

However, grandpa can do that, but he can't - he is a vassal king who inherited the unification, and there are a lot of rumors outside, so he must establish an image of being 'diligent in political affairs'!

Chongzhen glanced coldly at the courtiers who were 'arguing' again, and began to curse in his heart-

When Zhou Yanru first sat in the first position of the cabinet, he once made a generous speech in the Taihe Palace, which was better than singing. It is said that no new tax items will be added.

Now the courtiers are arguing, isn't it just this little Jiujiu, when I don't know?

The non-Donglin Party wants to slap Zhou Yanru in the face, and the Donglin Party naturally wants to protect it to the death!

But. None of the courtiers stood up to say about Zu Dashou's mutiny.

Chongzhen sighed slowly, as the so-called mourning is greater than heart death, he only feels that his eyelids are very heavy now. Countless sleepy bugs are crawling into the brain......

Wen Tiren looked solemn and bowed behind Zhou Yanru. I haven't spoken.

Most of the arguments in the court are some bullshit imperial history, and petty officials who are not in the middle of the stream are in the matter. The main protagonists, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, didn't speak at all.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer This is only half true-the gods fight, and the roaring dogs go first!

Wu Chengen, the author of Journey to the West, is well versed in this, otherwise there are so many monsters, why are almost all fairy mounts, watchdogs and the like, hehe, everyone understands.

The white bone spirit cultivated into a demon by himself, but he had a backstage, and the end was the worst......

Wen Tiren took in Emperor Chongzhen's expression, and calculated everything early in his abdomen.

Wen Tiren glanced at the 'intermission' time of the debate, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the minister Wen Tiren has something to play!" β€˜

These words were full of energy, and the drowsy ministers in the hall immediately rejuvenated, and Chongzhen also shook his spirits: "Wen Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to speak. β€˜

Zhou Yanru's brows furrowed, here, Wen Thief finally couldn't help it? Going to play on your own?

Hmph, old man, look at what you say - no matter what, the cabinet still has the final say......

Zhang Li took a slight step outside, and only then did he see Wen Tiren and Emperor Chongzhen.

The place where Zhang Li stood before was completely blocked by the ministers in front of him.

Wen Tiren didn't look at Zhou Yanru at all, as if what he said had nothing to do with Lord Zhou: "Your Majesty, since it is a matter of Liaodong, the minister suggests that the new Liaodong officials express their opinions!" β€˜

Hiss-Zhou Yanru gasped, Wen Thief is such a clever method!

If he directly talks about the salary and taxation of soldiers now, it will only increase the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.

After all, he can't conjure up a million taels of silver, and no matter how he says it, he won't make the emperor happy.

However, he now said that letting the new Liaodong officials express their opinions is a plan to lead the water to the east.

The emperor was already holding his breath because of the mutiny, and Dai Jian, the new governor of Guangning, who had the largest official position among the officials in Liaodong, was from his own side.

Can Dai Jian say a bullshit about Liaodong?

When the time comes, the emperor will be angry, and he can just take Dai Jian out of anger, and maybe he will also implicate his father's official Dai Shilang, which is ......

What a poisonous plan!

Wen Thief's speculation on the emperor's mind has really reached the point of perfection.

He turned out to be guiding the emperor's emotions to achieve his own goals!

There are not many people who can taste the means of Wen Tiren, but Zhang Li is definitely one of them.

Zhang Zhang glanced at Dai Jian, who was standing in front of him. His expression became solemn.

I already knew that Dai Jian was the new governor of Quang Ninh. It's his own top boss - when he arrives in Ning Yuan, there are naturally 10,000 ways to clean up this kid.

But now. The new Liaodong officials also included themselves, and the mutiny was caused by Ning Yuan, so he had to prepare early.

However, Dai Jian, the second ancestor, must not be able to say anything, what should he say?

For the first time in the early dynasty, it was not good to leave the impression of 'incompetence' on the emperor......

Dai Jian was like a mourner at the moment, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his feet trembled unnaturally.

Even Dai Jian felt that his lower abdomen was hot, and he felt that his urine was about to be scared out......

Originally, this time, Enke conferred the position of governor himself, and he was quite happy at that time. Later, I inquired about the governor of Guangning in Liaodong. I was terrified.

What is Liaodong? Isn't this Nima going to die?

He cried, made trouble, hanged himself, and acted in a full set, but his father could only sigh - after all, if the relationship between father and son is concerned, the father must avoid choosing what kind of official he is assigned.

In the end, my father went to Dongsheng Tower three times, and Lord Zhou nodded and said that he would only do it for one year, and he would transfer himself back to Jingshi, which was also a way out of the question.

Now Lord Wen wants to talk about Liaodong himself, what will he say?

Hey, it's better to tell the emperor that he doesn't learn and has no skills. I don't understand bullshit, maybe the emperor won't let him go to Liaodong?

After all, Dai Jian was not a fool, and in just a moment, he understood that he must not say such a thing - otherwise the emperor would not let him go to Liaodong for sure. Most of them have to pick up their official uniforms and go to Jinyi Guard Prison......

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the new governor of Guangning, Lord Dai Jiandai.

Dai Jian couldn't hide. dragged his trembling legs and walked out of the train tremblingly.

Chongzhen glanced at this person's hesitant appearance. His brow furrowed.

Can this kind of person go to Liaodong to defend the country?

Chongzhen sighed slightly, knowing that Liaodong was a dead place. It's good for someone to go, but what else to pick?

Hey, my tension Zhang Aiqing, didn't she take the initiative to ask to go to Liaodong? What a loyal servant!

What about Zhang Aiqing? Isn't he Ning Yuan's soldiers, what is his opinion?

Chongzhen rubbed his eyes and began to look for tension in the main hall.

However, after all, Chongzhen is not like Zhang Li, who has practiced the art of Tianyan, the Taihe Hall is so big, and there are so many civil and military officials, and the people in the back row can't see it clearly at all.

didn't find tension, Chongzhen also knew that Zhang Aiqing must be standing in the back row, so he sighed again, and his expression darkened.

Wen Tiren saw that the emperor was not interested in Dai Jian at all, and he didn't want to ask him at all, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

If Chongzhen didn't get angry with Dai Jian, his calculations would have come to naught.

Just when Dai Jian wanted to retract stupidly, Lord Wen launched an excellent 'assist': "Liaodong has been mutiny at two ends for three days, I don't know what Governor Dai's opinion is? β€˜

Dai Jian was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said: "The lower officials insist on the wise leadership of the cabinet ministers and ministers -- ah, no, it is mainly the wise leadership of the emperor, closely united in the ...... centered on the emperor."

Chongzhen coldly interrupted Dai Jian's words: 'Dai Aiqing has something to say, don't talk about those useless things!' β€˜

There was immediately a low burst of laughter in the Taihe Palace.

Dai Jian didn't care, thought for a moment, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liaodong still has to rely on General Zu to guard it!" However, it is also inconvenient to increase taxes. β€˜

Hey, why does this kid say that he doesn't pay taxes? Does he have a good idea?

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, if he could get Zu Dashou without paying taxes, this Dai Jian was a great capable minister!

There is nothing he can do about the first and second assistants of the cabinet, what kind of whimsy can he really have?

Chongzhen immediately put on a smile: "Dai Aiqing, if you don't pay taxes, what can you do?" β€˜

Chongzhen was excited, and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he gave a look to the eunuch who was waiting on the side.

The eunuch understood and immediately presented a cup of ginseng tea.

Dai Jian straightened his throat and secretly glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs present: Hehe, this official is going to be a blockbuster this time!

Dai Jian said loudly: 'Your Majesty, the weight of taxes in the dynasty is already the crown of all dynasties, and no more taxes can be paid......

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed, even the politically veterans Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren had no choice, did this second ancestor have a way? (To be continued......)
