Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ma Shiying actually chose to compromise, which surprised everyone present, from several vassal kings to high-ranking officials in the ministry, all of them widened their eyes in surprise.
Zhu Youxiang also grabbed Ma Shiying's arm, and said angrily: "Yuan Weng, if you go to work, isn't it Gu Zhenhua who has the final say in this world, that Zhang Jinyan, and the eunuchs of Dongchang will really control the Chaogang!" ”
"No!"
Ma Shiying waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "You still haven't understood, Gu Zhenhua wants to be the emperor of the soil, so he just asks for food and silver." It's just that we can't take it out, so he made a ruthless move, holding the banner of arresting corrupt officials and profiteers, and waved a butcher's knife, as long as he gave the money and food, and blocked his mouth, the dark clouds in the sky will disperse! ”
Ruan Dacheng suddenly widened his eyes, and said indignantly: "Yuan Weng, it's easy to say, didn't you hear, they want three million loads of grain, five million taels of silver, where did the court get it?" ”
"You can take it." Ma Shiying said with a smile: "Aren't there still those grain merchants, just let them do it, check as many as they want, and send them all to An **, I don't believe it, the rich Jiangnan can't get this bit of money and grain!" ”
Zhu Youxiang's brows tightened, everyone fell silent, and a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the fat Fu Wangcai, and he said with a smile: "Yuanfu, do you mean to let An ** offend these businessmen to death, so ......"
"That's right, since ancient times, those who have won the world have been those who have been generous and benevolent, and only by gathering the hearts of the people can they rise to power, and they have never been able to dominate the country by slaughter. It's just that. Let Gu Zhenhua toss, he offended so many people, and he was in the Central Plains in the land of four wars. Sooner or later, you have to listen to the orders of the imperial court. ”
Zhu Youxiang pondered for a long time before nodding: "Yuan Weng's words are the words of Lao Cheng Mouguo, but Yuan Weng is going to suffer!" ”
Ma Shiying sighed, "It's all the old man's incompetence that led to today's end......"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dengwen drum sounded! Ma Shiying looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, let's hurry up and go to the court." From today onwards, the old man is going to say goodbye to you, and I hope everyone can see it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Restrain yourself and stop doing stupid things! ”
Ma Shiying turned around and left after speaking, he was also bitter, knowing that these people were corrupt officials and corrupt officials. They are all moths of the country. But above the court, they could not be without. What's more, he, Ma Shiying, also stands out among such a group of people, which is not a good thing.
The rule of officials in the Ming Dynasty is rotten to the root!
As soon as the drum sounded, the emperor had to show up, this was also the ancestral system left by Lao Zhu, and no one dared to disobey it.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Fengtian Palace, and the little emperor Zhu Cihong was also dressed in a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair. Sitting down is the prison state Zhu Youxiang.
Zhu Cihong's eyes were red, and his face was blue. Dai Ying is not bad at all when she finds any evidence these days, and she gave Zhu Cihong a copy.
After Zhu Cihong saw it, he was so angry that he wiped his tears, is this still the country of the Ming Dynasty?
Officials are exploited layer by layer, officials and businessmen collude, no one is greedy, and they can even steal and sell soldiers' military rations to the enemy, the most ridiculous thing is that there is still the clan of the old Zhu family among these people!
No wonder the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to bully the Ming Dynasty, with these corrupt officials, the Ming Dynasty will not die, it is simply intolerable!
"Zhang Qing, there is a saying that there must be grass within ten steps. Now the court of the Ming Dynasty is not only full of grass, but also verdant grass and trees, all of which have become towering trees, blinding my ears and eyes and deceiving the hearts of the people all over the world! ”
"The ministers are guilty!"
The Manchu ministers knelt on the ground, and one by one they wanted to stuff their heads into the crotch of their pants.
After Zhang Jinyan kowtowed to the little emperor, he then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to send the sailors, and Dai Gonggong has also called the fans of the East Factory to control several major grain merchants and the granaries of the imperial court. The number of accounts obtained was so shocking that the minister counted less than one percent, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to check it down! ”
"Say, say anything, let me see it, and let the first emperor hear it. I remember that my father said that all ministers in the world can be killed, is this a lie? ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jinyan said and took a copy of the fold in his hand, and said loudly: "In May last year, the Hubu treasury caught fire and burned 300,000 quintals of grain. In fact, 170,000 of the 300,000 quintals of grain went to the grain merchant Gan Peiyu. Gan Peiyu hoarded Juqi, too high food prices. What is even more unforgivable is that 50,000 quintals of grain have been sold to the north and fallen into the hands of the Tartars. In other words, the Tartars are eating the grain of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and fighting the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Syllable!
Zhu Cihong slapped the dragon book case fiercely, and his lips trembled with anger: "Bastard, Hubu Shangshu get out of here!" ”
Although the little emperor is not very old, he is still full of majesty, and he is so frightened that the officials below him kneel on the ground.
Zhang Jinyan sneered slightly: "Your Majesty, this is only the slightest case among all the cases, Jiangnan Academy is funded by Jin merchant Fan Yongdou, and this Fan Yongdou is already a celebrity of the Tartar Emperor." Jin merchants used the connections of the imperial court to win over Ming officials and steal materials and military information, how many of the officials present had collusion with Jin merchants, no need to say it! ”
Listening to Zhang Jinyan's words, almost everyone present wanted to drink a sip of iced sour plum soup for three or nine days, and shivered from the inside to the outside. Jin merchants have corrupted officialdom for many years, this is a secret that no one dares to pick open, and now Zhang Jinyan has also moved out, and I don't know what this person wants to do, is he really so fearless!
What surprised them even more was still behind, and Zhang Jinyan said again: "Your Majesty, it's not just officials and businessmen who are like this, but the imperial court clan actually disregards the law......
"Slow, don't say any more!"
Ma Shiying walked out slowly, arched his hand at Zhang Jinyan, and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhang, a loyal old man can see very clearly, no matter how much guilt there is, it is my assistant who is not good, the old man is willing to go to work to apologize, and please ask Your Majesty Xià to permission!" ”
Saying that, Ma Shiying knelt in front of the little emperor and put the black yarn on his head on the ground!
Look at Ma Shiying's resignation. Frightened, many officials present trembled. Speaking of coming from after being killed from Donglin, among the hundreds of officials, seniority and prestige. is enough to be a supplement, only Ma Shiying is alone, if he leaves, the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty will really not be able to play.
These officials don't want Ma Shiying to leave, but apart from Ma Shiying, who else can take the blame! It's not going to go, it's not going to go. The officials present were all in a dilemma.
Zhang Jinyan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. It scared everyone. I saw Zhang Jinyan take a few steps in front of Ma Shiying, and sneered: "Lord Fu, the government is abandoned." Corruption is rampant, and you can't escape the blame for this auxiliary crime, but is just one auxiliary enough? When the Ming Dynasty has reached this point, shouldn't there be a higher person who is responsible? ”
"What?" Ma Shiying also stood up suddenly. Stared at Zhang Jinyan in surprise.
"You. Do you want to force His Majesty to change the dynasty? ”
Suddenly, all the civil and military officials present jumped up, and pointed at Zhang Jinyan one by one and spitted loudly, it is not enough to help him step down, who else do you want to let go down, it is simply ill-intentioned, and he bullies the king with ministers!
"Zhang Jinyan, you should die!"
"A madman, without a king and without a father."
"You are the same as your master Gu Zhenhua. They are all traitors who destroy the ancestral system! ”
……
These people all jumped out and scolded, if it weren't for the power of An **. I'm afraid that they will really do it and pinch Zhang Jinyan to death!
"The minister did not despise the king's heart, nor did he do anything to deceive the king. It's just that there is one thing here, please take a look at it! ”
Saying that, Zhang Jinyan took out an account book, and a eunuch had already taken it and sent it to King Fu.
The fat on Zhu Youxiang's face kept jumping, and when he looked at this account, it was almost to the point of convulsions. It turned out that this account recorded the situation of Nanjing grain merchants raising grain prices for huge profits in the past year. Just one Gan Peiyu sent 70,000 taels of silver to the Fuwang Mansion, counting other grain merchants, and the price of grain in the capital is not only rising, salt, cloth, tea, porcelain, wood, furniture......
All in all, everything that can be thought of is rising in price, and a lot of the profits from these price increases have flowed into the hands of the prince of the clan.
Looking at it, the corners of Fu Wang's mouth suddenly twitched, his head was full of cold sweat, he slid down the seat to the ground, and fell directly to the ground, unconscious!
"Uncle Wang!" When the little emperor Zhu Cihong saw it, he was also shocked, and before he could do anything, he fell a prince, which is too bad!
"Companion, pass on the imperial doctor!"
Dai Ying knew in her heart that most of the Fu Kings were pretending, and if she didn't fall at this time, would she still be waiting to confront Zhang Jinyan! However, he could only call for people to carry King Fu down quickly.
Things have come to this point, it is really too exciting, the cabinet assistant will step down, and the dignified supervisor Guofu Wang will also be finished. Zhang Jinyan's combat effectiveness is simply off the charts.
No one knows what else this person has in his hand, and if he says that the emperor is going to fall the next moment, some people believe it!
Seeing all the ministers in a mess, the court was even more lively than the vegetable market.
Ma Shiying waved his hand, and Ruan Dacheng also shouted: "Be quiet, shut up, shut up!" ”
After some shouting, these people finally barely quieted down, and Ma Shiying sighed: "Colleagues, everyone is waiting in the palace, the old man wants to talk to Master Zhang." ”
At this time, the little emperor Zhu Cihong also knew that things were going to get out of control, and also said: "Yuanfu's mention is very good, big companion, you and I will also go and listen to it." ”
Obviously, people are going to have a secret meeting, and the ministers of the court are indeed very curious, but the big guys don't want to fall into it and break their bones, so they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The little emperor took the lead, and several people hurried to the side hall, Ma Shiying smiled bitterly at Zhang Jinyan: "Lord Zhang, it's come to this point, why are you so troubled!" ”
"Serious illness with fierce medicine, Da Ming has been trying to maintain it all these years, but it has been maintained until now, and finally it can't be maintained, Yuanfu, if you can really show courage and drastic reform, Ji Guogong may not support you again."
"Hahaha, the old man doesn't have that mind!"
Ma Shiying saluted Zhu Cihong, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old minister, as an auxiliary, is guilty of escaping, and voluntarily goes to work, and the officials of the household department and the military department neglect their duties, and they will be dealt with according to the law." The official of science and Taoism is willing to fall, and the blame cannot be escaped. ”
"Then, then, what about King Fu?"
"There is no precedent for my dynasty to supervise the country, His Majesty is now sixteen years old, and he can be in charge of the government.
"Who should it be?"
Zhu Cihong originally wanted to study for a few years, but after seeing such a shocking problem, what he was most worried about was that before he could take the government, the Ming dynasty would be completely finished.
Ma Shiying also knew that the little emperor accepted his opinion, and when he asked Fu, he did not answer, but set his eyes on Zhang Jinyan.
"Your Majesty, Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been an official for many years, and he has rich qualifications, so he can take over as an assistant. Since Weichen handled the case, he has been exhausted, and after dealing with the follow-up, he resigned as a second assistant. ”
"No!" The little emperor hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, you are loyal to the country, I can see it clearly, according to my meaning, you are the best candidate for the auxiliary." Ji Guogong and you are both literate and martial, and they are my right-hand man! ”
Zhang Jinyan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there are too many people who have offended the minister, if you stay in the capital, I am afraid that this head will be cut off sooner or later." The minister can take over the second assistant. ”
"Who?"
"Su Quanhe." Zhang Jinyan said with a smile: "He is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and his qualifications and prestige are unparalleled. ”
Zhang Jinyan also missed one point, that is, this is always a figure on Gu Zhenhua's side, and Gu Zhenhua will not relax his control over the capital.
Both sides know in their hearts that things have come to this point, and it is impossible for An ** not to be hurt. In addition to Zhang Jinyan, Dai Ying was also promoted to the position of Master of Ceremonies. This seems to be promoted, but in fact, it snatched the East Factory away from Dai Ying's hands, and from then on, Dai Ying could only concentrate on serving the little emperor.
However, fortunately, Zhu Cihong is pro-government, and the position of the eunuch is more important, and it is not a big loss.
After much deliberation, the two sides finally reached the deal.
The court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was turned upside down overnight. The prison was deposed, the auxiliary resigned, the second assistant stepped down, and the East Factory was also replaced, which can be called a nuclear explosion, and everyone was stunned.
Of course, the center of this nuclear explosion was not in Nanjing, but in Kaifeng, thousands of miles away. When the flying pigeon passed the book and delivered it to Gu Zhenhua's hands, Gu Zhenhua finally showed a smug smile.
"Yes, well done! Three million quintals of grain are enough to eat until the summer grain harvest. There are still five million taels of silver, how do I feel that I have suddenly become a local tyrant! ”
Gu Zhenhua laughed beautifully, but before he could finish his happiness, all the generals came over, even Li Jibo was no exception.
"Grandpa Guo, if you have money, you have to form a guard army first."
"Our cavalry will buy more horses, handcuffs."
"We also need to increase the number of self-generated firearms."
"The General Staff Department is also going to be expanded, and an officer school is going to be built!"
……
A large group of creditors surrounded Gu Zhenhua and put on a posture that if you don't give money, we will be endless. (To be continued......)
