The envoy is the cabinet minister to meet the Son of Heaven that is also to send someone to report in advance, and after the communication time, the cabinet will meet again, however, this time there is good news in the southwest of the pacification, Han Yi and the other three believe that the Son of Heaven will meet immediately, so the three of them under the leadership of the two eunuchs on duty drove directly to the Qianqing Palace.

As expected by the three cabinet ministers, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, the great emperor of the Great Tomorrow, was fighting in the Qianqing Palace with the cabinet and the celebrant supervisors from all over the country, and the struggle lasted for a whole afternoon.

"Long live the lord, now it's the end of the unitary time, the food in the imperial dining room is already hot, and I hope that the long live lord will take care of his body." Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen knelt down and bowed.

"Oh, the end of the unitary hour?" The young son of heaven raised his head and looked out of the window, there was no light outside, Zhu Youzhen rubbed his brows, and at this time, Wang Chengen stepped forward to help knock Zhu Youzhen's shoulder.

"So, let's go..." There was a knock on the door, "Go see what's going on." Zhu Youzhen commanded.

Wang Chengen replied respectfully, bowed and retreated to the outer door, opened the door of the palace, and saw his subordinate Wang Dehua fighting outside the door, and more than ten steps away were the three Ming ministers.

Wang Chengen shook his bow, and then asked Wang Dehua with a heavy face, "What's the matter, Long Live Lord has been busy for a few hours and is about to eat." ”

He knew that there must be something important for a few ministers to come to the audience without Tongbing, but he also had to say this, so that a few ministers could hear that if it was too disappointing, it would be better to wait until the meal was over, or it would not be too late to say it tomorrow.

Wang Dehua is so aggrieved, all the elders came together, he really didn't dare to be distracted, he was not Wang Chengen. Not that big. I can't stop it.

"Don't worry, Wang Daban. This time we have come to meet Your Majesty, and it is really great news. Han Yi said with a smile.

He knew very well that the person in front of him was the most powerful among the thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and Wang Chengen was not the highest-ranking eunuch in the eunuch Zhangyin, but it was not that he couldn't be it, but the Son of Heaven couldn't leave him for a moment.

Since the beginning of the letter to Wang Qiandi, Wang Chengen is the only cronie around him today, if Wang Chengen is appointed as the eunuch of the palm seal and leaves Banzai to deal with the affairs, then Banzai will be at a loss. Therefore, Wang Chengen stayed by Banzai's side and waited in the name of the eunuch of Bingbi, and he could offend anyone, but this person must not be offended.

As a pavilion elder, the glory in front of him is already the pinnacle of the ministers, and it doesn't hurt to offend, but in such a position, the family is already flourishing, unless you don't take into account the future generations, Wang Chengen can't be offended. can only make friends, but fortunately, Wang Chengen still knows the stakes. Never rely on the favor of the Son of Heaven to act recklessly.

"It turns out that the elder of the pavilion has something important to do, and a few of them will wait for our family to live the master." Wang Chengen smiled and bowed to salute, he didn't inquire about what the news was, he believed that Han Yi and the others would not dare to deceive him.

"It's so annoying to my father-in-law." Han Yi smiled and bowed in return, Li Biao was also a salute, only Qian Longxi bowed stiffly.

After a while, Wang Chengen opened the door of the palace and led everyone into the palace.

"Long live the ministers." Han Yi, Li Biao, and Qian Longxi knelt on the ground.

"Zhongqing is flat. Come on, look at the seats. Chongzhen used his hand to help.

A few clever little eunuchs on the side walked over quickly and put down a few brocade stools.

"Your Majesty, today's Governor Yun Guichuan's Lord Zhu quickly reported that a few days ago he completely annihilated more than 20,000 rebels under the rebel thief chieftain Yu Chongming and An Bangyan, Your Majesty, after eight years of turmoil, the southwest is now Dingding." Han Yi bowed and saluted, and presented Zhu Xieyuan's Tang newspaper with both hands.

Wang Chengen's mention is very obvious, long live has not eaten at this time, if there is something to say, Han Yi has no extra greetings, and directly presents the good news.

"Oh, take a look at me." Zhu Youzhen's pale face flushed a little red, and he said excitedly.

Wang Chengen walked forward quickly, holding it with both hands, and Chen returned to present it to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the Chen, looked at it at a glance, smiled while watching, and then he looked at the tea from the beginning before he put down the Chen, and looked at the three ministers with a light in his eyes.

"A few elders, this is really good news, my Ming finally wants to rebel and stand on his own Yi chieftains, this is great news, eight years of clean-up today finally succeeded, God bless Daming." The young Son of Heaven was bright-eyed and energetic at the moment, and he changed his grievances in the past two years.

"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's reuse of Zhu Xieyuan's meritorious work, thinking that Lord Zhu was framed and dismissed by villains like Wei Zhongxian to be investigated, causing Yungui to fall into a stalemate, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he reinstated Lord Zhu as soon as he ascended the throne, and the military affairs of the three provinces of the governor had such a great victory, and His Majesty was the biggest contributor to this great victory." Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Okay, you Wang Chengen, you can talk more and more," Zhu Youzhen laughed and used his hand to Wang Chengen.

"The prince's words are reasonable, Zhu Da had the opportunity to sweep away the traitor a few years ago, but he was framed by the Wei thief and seized his post to be investigated, so that the traitor had a chance to breathe. Han Yi bowed and spoke, and Li Biao and Qian Longxi echoed in unison.

"Wu Zhiwang, Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Chenghuan, and Sun Chengzong are all my Ming capable ministers, and they are hindered by such a giant traitor as Wei Zhongxian, and their exile is idle, which is the loss of the government and the opposition, and the widow is just doing his best, and there is no need to be overrated," Zhu Youzhen smiled and waved his hand.

However, everyone could see that he was indeed overjoyed, his ancestors' country was restored, and he was in a good mood, "Han Qing, Li Qing, Qian Qing, you and others will discuss it tomorrow, how to reward Lord Zhu and his subordinates, and don't hurt the hearts of the soldiers." ”

At the end, Zhu Youzhen's tone was heavy, meaning something.

Li Biao's heart was cold, of course he understood that long live this was to let him raise money and food to reward him, which made him extremely helpless, there was really no reward, all the means had been exhausted, so he reluctantly let the government and the opposition operate, but there was indeed nothing that could be done about the catastrophe, alas, this was to drive him crazy.

The so-called financial management for the country is similar to that of one family and one household, but it is just to open source and reduce expenditure.

Don't think about throttling, long live has been thrifty since he ascended the throne, and a lot of palace expenses have been cut, and the remaining local expenses are half in arrears.

The source of the Ming Dynasty's wealth is half in the field of wealth, now in addition to the field of wealth, Wanli has been levied in the Liao salary, the Apocalypse has been levied in the Liao salary, Chongzhen years have been levied to suppress the salary, practice the salary, and the Liao salary has been repeatedly levied.

Shengdou small people are now also having a hard time, after paying the three salaries of the field, there is only less than half a year of rice left, all mixed with wild vegetables and miscellaneous rice to survive, can only ask the Buddha to worship God to bless the wind and rain, in case of famine only sell themselves as slaves or flee the famine.

Only the gentry family did not fall through the wind and rain, and in the disaster year, the money lending and land grabbing was getting stronger and stronger, and now the number of grain households is more than 10% less than that in the Wanli years, which is a clear proof.

Li Biao's own land in his hometown of Gaoyi has doubled in a few years, is it possible to tax the gentry, that is the way to die.

Even the big gentry who hated it deeply did not dare to touch the thousand-year-old pattern of the gentry not paying food, and as for the increase in commercial taxes, it was a taboo for the incumbent Beijing officials and local officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is no official background in business, I am afraid that the industry has long been taken away, all wealthy businessmen have the shares of the officials of the office, and even they are the agents of the officials, how can they have their own reasons to increase taxes.

So at the beginning of the Apocalypse, the imperial court discussed several times to increase the commercial tax, and the proposers all said that the commercial tax of ten taxes and one was too low, but as soon as the suggestion came out, the public opinion of the government and the opposition was turbulent, and they all said that the imperial court could not compete with the people for profit, resulting in the proposal to increase the commercial tax has dragged on so far, and the commercial tax is still a strong ten tax one.

Li Biao said to himself that if he proposed to impose a forced commercial tax, the day of the destruction of the Li family was just around the corner, because he was the mortal enemy of all the incumbent officials, and he couldn't guard against it with open guns and hidden arrows.

In this way, Li Biao has been thinking and meditating for several months, but he can't do it left and right, and his donkey skills are poor.

Han Yi sighed secretly, feeling sympathy for the colleague beside him.

"The minister did everything he could." Li Biao replied solemnly, and made up his mind to say that he should resign as soon as possible, this job could not be done, but unfortunately, he regretted that he was only fifty years old as a cabinet minister, when he was in the prime of life, but he could only beg for bones.

Han Yi knew Li Biao very well, seeing that he didn't complain, he responded cheerfully, and understood that Li Biao was already in his heart, and it seemed that the cabinet was going to change again, and in just two years, the cabinet ministers were replaced like a marquee, which was the only one since the establishment of the Ming Cabinet.

"Companion, I want to eat, the good news brought by a few pavilion elders has made me appetite great, let people prepare more dishes and chopsticks, and several pavilion elders also eat here." Zhu Youzhen only felt unbearable hunger in his stomach at this time.

"The old slave obeys." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied, it was not easy to live and finally had an appetite.

"Your Majesty has worked for a day, or eat immediately, the body is critical, the ministers are tired after a busy day, and they are about to go back to the house to rest and wait for the next day to come to the palace again on duty." Han Yi and the others hurriedly excused themselves, joking, eating with the Son of Heaven is to suffer, and it is just a matter of suffering, in case the Son of Heaven mentions any embarrassing matters, how to answer at that time, how to finish, or less by Banzai's side.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Han Yi, who had gray hair, and couldn't help nodding, "Since the old pavilion has made up his mind, I won't force me to stay, you are also feeling restrained by waiting here, so go back to the house and rest." ”

Several ministers thanked Jun'en, walked out of the palace together, walked to the palace gate, and arrived at the palace gate, Li Biao looked back at the Qianqing Palace, only the warriors of the guards and the eunuchs and palace maids of the attendants were faintly visible, he sighed, this is really not a place to stay for a long time, and there is a negative Jun's grace.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's devouring meal, Wang Chengen on the side was happy, in the past few days, he had the best appetite for today's long live.

Looking at the emaciated Zhu Youzhen, I couldn't help but sigh secretly What is so good about this emperor, sitting alone in the Forbidden City, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the safety of the next day, and working hard every day.

Carefully calculate how to open source and reduce expenditure, select talents and talents, from time to time the news of disasters in the provinces of the world comes, it is a heart-rending pain, seeing the homeless people in various places, the rampant construction of slaves hates not to lift the knife on the horse, one day happy days, the leisurely days in the palace of the king of faith are gone.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel resentful when I saw the Son of Heaven who was just a cotton cloth ** eating, and I saw through the gap in the court clothes that several ministers were all silk**, with excellent texture, and it cost a lot of money, but the current Son of Heaven is just coarse cloth clothes, how ridiculous.
