Chapter 1492: The Saint Monarch Dictatorship

"Director Kong, this is to underestimate me, waiting." Zhao Song smiled slightly, "Over the years, thanks to the emperor's grace, the army has been carrying out literacy education, and with the emperor's kindness, everyone is very attentive!" In the past few years, many of our officers have learned very well, and although the poetry may not be as good as those old talents who have been studying for many years, there are talents in astronomy, geography, medical and financial management, and I don't think they are worse than any cabinet organ. If the supervision of mine affairs has to rely on dancing and writing articles, maybe we are still a little worried, but we can do this by keeping accounts and calculating taxes! In addition, even if there are one or two small gangsters in it who take the opportunity to make ghosts, military law is stricter than national law, no matter who is so bold, Zhao Song will definitely be able to let him die without a place to be buried! ”

After Kong Zhang, Zhao Song and others spoke, other civil and military ministers who came to the meeting also spoke, but basically the civilian officials echoed the prime minister's opinion, and the military attachΓ©s expressed their agreement with the marshal's views, faintly forming a situation of opposition between the cultural relics official group.

The prime minister and the prime minister are the civil officials who are attending the highest position today, and Marshal Shi is the military attache to the highest military position who is present as an observer, and the influence of a few of them will inevitably have a huge influence among the civil and military ministers on both sides.

Through the disposal of Japan's gold and silver mines, the contradictions that had been secretly underflowing within the new dynasty from the beginning of the country were finally openly placed on the court. Moreover, in the midst of the controversy, the smell of gunpowder between the two factions became stronger and stronger, and the words became more and more intense.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that you want to keep Liyuan in the hands of the cabinet, but we are all ministers of the DPRK and China, and we must not forget state affairs selfishly!" Marshal Shi Manqiang frowned, "This matter naturally has to be handled by the garrison, so it can be considered appropriate!" ”

"People who forget state affairs for selfishness, are we waiting or marshals?" Pingyuan Hou sneered and took over, "The affairs of finance and planning are originally under the control of the cabinet, and the people's livelihood in the world is even more in charge of the cabinet, why should the marshal worry about such a source of profit?" And what should be agreed upon by us, do we ignore the Cabinet's intentions? ”

"How can we ignore the Cabinet? The cabinet is the biggest reliance on the governance of the country, who dares to ignore it? Marshal Shi Manqiang sank his face, "I'm just waiting to better serve the king, the finance minister said that we have selfish intentions, how can we have any selfish intentions?" ”

Then, suddenly, he stood up, and then bowed down to the emperor. "Your Majesty, the ministers of the cabinet said that the ministers were selfish, and the ministers could not refute it for a while, and the ministers also knew that it was difficult to distinguish the ministers by their own tongues. Therefore, the minister requested that the gold and silver mine supervision institutions stationed in Japan after the war be handed over to the emperor himself, and that the garrison should be in charge, and that the annual production and fruits should be handled by the emperor's internal funds. Please the emperor sage!! ”

Not many years after the establishment of the new dynasty, although many systems have been greatly improved according to the emperor's preferences and practical needs, but because of the limited energy of the upper and lower levels, many systems are still hastily followed, as is the case with the state's accounts and financial calculations.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the imperial court and the emperor's private belongings were separated, and the imperial houses and palaces that were all over the country were also responsible for special palace organs, and the expenses of the court could not be extracted from them, but could only be borrowed when needed. The new dynasty also followed this system, but because the imperial estate and most of the other properties privately owned by the Ming royal family were confiscated and then incorporated into the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce and other cabinet organs for management, and Yunshan Xing was also managed by the cabinet, so the scale of the new dynasty's court was much smaller than that of the previous Ming, and the emperor's income was much smaller than that of the previous dynasty.

Fortunately, the emperor and the imperial concubines were not very luxurious, and the scale of the palace eunuchs and organs was greatly reduced, and the expenditure of the court was reduced to a very low level compared with the previous court, so the internal funds were barely able to spend, and occasionally there was even a little surplus.

It was precisely because of this situation in the new dynasty that after hearing Marshal Shi Manqiang's words, the prime minister and the financial minister suddenly changed color, and suddenly became a little panicked.

The income of the royal family of the new dynasty was not high, but if Marshal Ishimanqiang had been advised to put Japan's gold and silver mines under the direct authority of the royal government and enter the accounts of the inner court, the situation would have been completely different.

Therefore, they can imagine the attraction of the marshal's proposal to the emperor, if they can include all these gold, silver and mining affairs, it is much more tempting than a palace.

If it really didn't fall into the hands of the emperor, they wouldn't be very opposed, after all, the emperor would definitely allocate funds from the treasury when the cabinet was short of money. But in their opinion, Marshal Shi's proposal was originally selfish, and it was just for a certain banner to be dedicated to the emperor. The emperor has always favored the army, and is very tolerant, if the garrison is responsible for supervising the mining affairs, wouldn't the nominal emperor still let the army achieve its goal?

Moreover, during the debate of the court meeting, the emperor was actually pulled up as a banner...... It's hard to accept.

"Marshal Shi's words are not unreasonable, we are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and what we are diligently seeking is for the Han Dynasty and the emperor's country! The things that were beaten down were naturally all for the emperor, and it was okay to dedicate them directly to the emperor. The prime minister agreed with the other party's opinion with a straight face, "However, as I said before, letting the garrison be responsible for supervising the mining affairs has many disadvantages and is really difficult to implement, it is better to establish a new organization by the cabinet now, independent of other deployments, and the imperial treasurer, and then this new department will supervise the mining affairs, so that there is a special person as the emperor's director, which should be foolproof." The cabinet is full of fists, all in order to make the emperor's world more stable, and please consider what the emperor has said before! ”

After finishing speaking, he also stood up suddenly like the marshal, and then bowed his body as well, "Please ask the emperor to break it!" ”

When the two supreme ministers of civil and military affairs present today stood up at the same time to ask for a holy judgment, the conference hall, which had become a little noisy because of everyone's enthusiastic speeches, instantly became silent, and no one spoke to the ministers anymore, everyone either hung their heads silently, or secretly glanced at the emperor.

The opposition between the civil and military sides has never been so obvious and sharp as it is today, and the two sides have been arguing for a long time without reaching a consensus, so they made the decision to ask for a holy judgment at the same time.

The Holy Judgment is the final judgment.

The crown prince, on the other hand, was a little dazzled by this performance in the court, his eyes widened, and his gaze wandered around, trying to find some rules that he could comprehend.

The controversy among the ministers seemed to him to be very fierce, but he was still young, and he couldn't understand why such a fierce dispute suddenly broke out between the two sides, in his opinion, both sides were shouting loyalty, and they were great loyal ministers, and he didn't understand that since they had the same idea, the two sides would quarrel like this.

At the same time, he didn't understand why his father had been silent, allowing these civil and military ministers to quarrel, regardless of the dignity of the court ministers.

Although he is still young, he has also been educated by many teachers for a long time, because he is the crown prince and will be in charge of the country in the future. Although many of these teachers have different views, some tend to Confucianism and some tend to the study of instruments, and often teach him some conflicting views, but these teachers have a little point of view that is almost the same, they all believe that the court cannot be caught in political disputes, and the ministers will form parties once the political disputes, and then talk about people and things, and finally the court is out of control, and the ministers are busy attacking each other, political affairs will be put aside, and the country will decline.

These teachers are all from the former Ming Dynasty, and they are all exposed to the bloody court struggle of the Donglin Party and other ministers' parties in the late Ming Dynasty, and some of them are even witnesses of those struggles at that time.

Therefore, the crown prince didn't quite understand why the quarrel had reached the level just now, and his father was still silent. Now it's obvious that it's already a lot of noise, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have already opposed each other!

When the quarrel among the ministers was most intense, he completely forgot the fact that he was only present as an observer today, and tried to speak several times, but always held back at the last moment. He knew that he was only the crown prince, and he could not speak indiscriminately at such a state meeting.

However, he was so anxious in his heart, and his father who was sitting on the throne did not move at all, which really puzzled him.

The emperor has not made a decision, the ministers are waiting for the emperor's holy decision, and the prince is also waiting for the emperor to give a result, this strange silence makes everyone feel a little confused and uneasy.

"Please make a judgment for my emperor!" The prime minister bowed deeply again, he was afraid that the emperor would forget his previous advice out of the old brother's old affection, so he couldn't help but urge the emperor to make a decision and defeat the arrogance of this group of military leaders.

He believed that the emperor would listen to his opinion, after all, he had already explained a lot of truth in the private meeting just now, could the emperor not listen to such a holy man? Besides, he had already promised to let the emperor's inner government privately take over the supervision of those gold and silver mines, and only let the cabinet be responsible for the implementation - leaving the palace and supervising the power had already been in the hands of the emperor, so what reason did he have not to listen to the cabinet's advice?
