Chapter 197: I Want to Be a Ming Jun! 【Ask for a commuter pass】
Chu Yi glanced at the amount, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, although he said that he expected it, but when he really saw that number, Chu Yi still couldn't help but sigh.
Waving his hand and signaling the man to step back, Chu Yi looked at the letter in his hand, groaned slightly, and went directly out of the East Factory and went straight to the direction of the leopard room.
In the past two days, the mood of the Son of Heaven has become more and more comfortable, and he is even thinking about when to move back to the Forbidden City to live, after all, the dignified emperor is supreme, and there is a huge palace that does not live, but lives in this small leopard room, which is a little unreasonable.
Otherwise, he would not have been forced to the palace by a group of civil and military ministers to take this point.
At the beginning, he chose to leave the palace and live in the leopard room, because there was no sense of security in the palace, and only the leopard room could make him feel that he was a real emperor.
Now it is different from the past, Chu Yi has killed many times with his support, it can be said that the heads of the people killed are rolling, and a group of civil servants have been co-opted, suppressed a group, killed a group, and even pulled the Wuxun side to his side, Zhu Houzhao's power can be said to be unprecedentedly great.
Although it is said that it is much worse than the two emperors of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, but compared to the emperors of Hongzhi and Chenghua, the power that Zhu Houzhao can control is much greater, at least until the civil service system recovers, Zhu Houzhao does not have to think about these anymore.
Although he said that he was thinking about moving back to the palace, it was just a thought, and he didn't want to act on it immediately.
Here, Zhu Houzhao is practicing the Taoist method of health preservation and strengthening under the guidance of Shao Yuanjie.
Lu Wenyang rebelled, although it is said that Shao Yuanjie did not make a move, but the Son of Heaven sent him to raid the battle for Chu Yi, whether he made a move or not, this is a credit, isn't it?
Relying on this merit, coupled with the trust of the Son of Heaven, not long ago, the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree to entitle Shao Yuanjie as a Taoist real person.
Those who can be respected as real people must be Taoist masters, for example, Zhang Sanfeng is called Sanfeng Zhenren, many Taoist masters are named real people by the imperial court, it can be said that the title of real people is a great honor for Taoist monks.
Even Shao Yuanjie was not exempt from vulgarity, and after receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, he taught Zhu Houzhao to do his best even more.
Chu Yi's status in the leopard room is quite special, and he doesn't need to enter the leopard room at all, so when Chu Yi saw Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao had just finished his work, and there were still some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
When he saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile at Chu Yi and said: "I haven't seen my companion for a day or two, and I just thought about sending someone to invite my companion, but I never thought that my companion and I have a heart, so I came here!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Houzhao motioned for Chu Yi and Shao Yuanjie to sit down, whether it was Chu Yi or Shao Yuanjie, they were used to Zhu Houzhao's way of getting along without any arrogance in private.
Chu Yi has been with Zhu Houzhao for almost ten years, and he has long been accustomed to everything about Zhu Houzhao, and Shao Yuanjie has stayed by Zhu Houzhao's side these days, and only to get along like this found that the Son of Heaven is not as ridiculous as the literati say, addicted to playthings, and ignorant of national affairs.
These days, because many ministers of the court were implicated and put in prison, which directly led to a certain amount of chaos in the court, many government affairs need to be decided by Zhu Houzhao personally, Zhu Houzhao is diligent and diligent, even if he reviews the recitals every day until late at night, there is still no trace of fatigue.
In Shao Yuanjie's view, if it is said that Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as a faint monarch and ignores national affairs, then the emperors of all dynasties are only afraid that nine times out of ten they are faint monarchs.
Similarly, for Zhu Houzhao's magnanimity and approachability to the people around him, Shao Yuanjie also has a deep understanding, bowing slightly towards Chu Yi, Shao Yuanjie sat at Chu Yi's head.
Taking a cup of hot tea, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said, "The big companion definitely didn't come to see me on purpose, let's talk about it, is there something going on in the court?" ”
Chu Yi chuckled, took out a letter from his cuff and presented it to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this is a report sent by Dongchang from Tianjin Wei Kuaima. ”
"Oh, Tianjin Wei, where Lu Wenyang's traitor's lair is, I think Han Kun and Bi Heng should have taken Tianjin Wei by this time!"
Hearing that Zhu Houzhao has such an accurate grasp of these major events, who wants to say that Zhu Houzhao ignores the government and politics, it is really Chiguoguo's slander.
Zhu Houzhao took the letter, his eyes swept over the contents of the letter, and suddenly, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but swallow a sip of tea and then coughed violently.
Gu Dayong on the side was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted Zhu Houzhao's back gently, Zhu Houzhao was obviously choked, coughed violently for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled at Chu Yi and Shao Yuanjie disapprovingly: "It makes the eldest companion and the real person laugh." ”
Shao Yuanjie glanced at the letter with great curiosity, obviously Shao Yuanjie was very curious, what was the content of the letter, which would make Zhu Houzhao such a son of heaven react like this.
However, Shao Yuanjie himself does not have much pursuit of power, and belongs to the kind of real single-minded master, which can be seen that Shao Yuanjie will be by the side of Emperor Jiajing for 20 years in the future.
Therefore, no matter how curious Shao Yuanjie is, whenever it is possible to involve the affairs of the DPRK and China, Shao Yuanjie will not look at it or inquire about it, he just needs to do what he should do.
Zhu Houzhao put the letter on the coffee table, and his expression was full of sighs: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine that Lu Wenyang had been greedy for 30 million taels of silver." ”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Chu Yi knew that Zhu Houzhao had removed tens of millions of taels of dirty silver from the south of the Yangtze River that was robbed by Lu Wenyang.
If we do the math, the amount of gold and silver sent to Beijing this time is as much as 35 million taels, and the total amount of tax and silver collected from the treasury is only a few million taels.
As a result, this time, tens of millions of taels of silver were copied at once, which was almost equivalent to the tax and silver income of the Ming Dynasty for several years.
Even Qing Xiu Ru Shao Yuanjie couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, and his face showed shock.
A Caoyun governor can be greedy for so much gold and silver, which is really beyond Shao Yuanjie's expectations, but thinking that Shao Yuanjie even dares to do such a big rebellion on the side of the Qing monarch, what else does he dare not do, it seems understandable that such a character is greedy for so much ink and silver.
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao, who had a look of exclamation, and said, "Your Majesty, about this silver, has Your Majesty thought about how to arrange it?" ”
The Ming Dynasty has the inner treasury and the outer treasury, the outer treasury naturally belongs to the Ming court, which is in charge of the household department, and the inner treasury is equivalent to the royal private treasury, which belongs to the small treasury of the Son of Heaven, and is inherited between the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties.
If this large amount of silver is put into the treasury, then as the Son of Heaven, it will not be so easy for Zhu Houzhao to use it again.
It was precisely because of this distinction between inside and outside that Chu Yi asked Zhu Houzhao what he meant before the confiscated tattoo silver was put into the Jingshi, whether it was sent to the private treasury of the Son of Heaven or into the treasury.
Zhu Houzhao's face showed a little hesitation and struggle, even if it is the Son of Heaven, he claims to have the world, but no one knows that the seat of the Son of Heaven is not so easy to sit on, and the so-called rich world is a bit exaggerated.
Whether it was Chu Yi or Shao Yuanjie, he didn't bother the Son of Heaven at this time, before the silver was not put into storage, the Son of Heaven still had a choice, once a decision was made, there was no choice.
I don't know when Zhu Houzhao also learned from Chu Yi when he was groaning, and gently tapped the coffee table with one hand, and heard Zhu Houzhao looking at Chu Yi and Shao Yuanjie: "As the saying goes, take it from the people, use it for the people, most of the silver tattoos that Lu Wenyang is greedy for ink are people's fat and people's ointment, if I fill it into the private treasury, I will be safe in my heart!" ”
Gu Dayong on the side couldn't help but hurriedly say when he heard this: "Your Majesty, in the royal treasury, there are not many savings......
Zhu Houzhao glared at Gu Dayong, obviously disliking Gu Dayong to interject at this time.
His eyes fell on Chu Yi, and Zhu Houzhao said, "I don't know what choice my companion thinks I should make?" ”
Chu Yi was slightly stunned, and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty is benevolent and loves the people, and it is the blessing of all the people, according to the minister's opinion, the property escorted back this time is gold and silver, jewelry, jade, etc., and His Majesty takes the jewelry, jade and other property into the inner treasury, and the gold and silver are included in the treasury." ”
Just like the 13 million taels of property that Chu Yi brought back from Jiangnan, it is impossible that all of them are cash, and some of them are jade, jewelry, and the like.
And Lu Wenyang's mansion also confiscated many priceless jewelry, jade and other property.
Chu Yi's suggestion is quite good, the gold and silver are put into the treasury to provide relief to the victims, build water conservancy and other governance and safety of the people, and those jade, jewelry and the like are filled into the treasury, which can enrich the royal private treasury.
After listening to Chu Yi's suggestion, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said: "What the Great Companion said is very much in line with my heart, so according to the Great Companion, the jewels and jade will be put into the royal treasury, and the gold and silver will be filled into the treasury!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi with a little worry, "Big companion, if I do this, will I be accused of being a faint king!" ”
Obviously, Zhu Houzhao has a desire to be a Ming Jun in his heart, otherwise, if he has a choice, he will definitely fill so much property into the inner treasury. But Zhu Houzhao was able to suppress the desire in his heart, and considering so much, he chose to charge the gold and silver into the treasury, which still has the appearance of a wise man.
Shao Yuanjie on the side didn't know a chief and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao shouldn't have interjected, but he couldn't help but say that what His Majesty did can be called a clear monarch!" ”
After getting along for some time, Zhu Houzhao probably got to know Shao Yuanjie's literati, and knew that Shao Yuanjie was upright, cautious, and never said much, this was almost the first time Shao Yuanjie took the initiative to speak after he came to his side.
Because of this, Zhu Houzhao was praised by Shao Yuanjie like this, and he was quite happy in his heart, and the smile on his face couldn't help but flow.
There are more than 30 million taels of property, of which things such as goldfish and jewelry are worth almost 10 million taels, and there are about 25 million taels of silver, that is to say, among so many belongings, there are only tens of millions of taels of property in the emperor's private treasury.
Even after the ministers of civil and military affairs in the DPRK and China knew this, they would definitely not be able to say anything, because Zhu Houzhao's choice made people unable to say anything at all.
In the middle of the conversation, an attendant hurriedly came and saluted the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty's guard commander Han Kun has already arrived in Beijing, and sent someone to ask to see Your Majesty. ”
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, since Han Kun had arrived in Beijing, it meant that tens of millions of taels of property had been successfully escorted into Beijing, which also made Zhu Houzhao breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he knew in his heart that after Lu Wenyang's rebellion, there would definitely be no more chaos in the land of Gyeonggi, but in the end, it was tens of millions of taels of silver, and if he didn't enter Beijing for a day, he was a little uneasy in his heart.
Now that the tattoo silver has entered Beijing, Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Xuan! ”
Han Yu, the official of the thousand households, was brought over by the chamberlain, bowed down to the Son of Heaven and said, "The last general, Han Yu, will meet Your Majesty and the Chief Manager of Chu!" ”
Zhu Houzhao bowed his head and said: "General, get up and answer without courtesy!" ”
Han Yu is Han Kun's nephew, although it is said that Han Kun is cheap, but if Han Yu is an incompetent person, Han Kun will not leave such an important opportunity to face the saint to Han Yu.
Chu Yi glanced at Han Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "You are the nephew Han Yu of his clan that Commander Han often praises?" ”
In a panic, Han Yu hurriedly said: "Back to the general manager, it is the last general!" ”
Chu Yi looked at Han Yu, and had to say that Han Yu really looked like a general, burly and straight, looking like he should have practiced the horizontal refining method in the army, although it was not as good as Hu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, and Dingwu Bocheng Xiangwu, who relied on a body of horizontal martial arts to fight against the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, but it was not bad, at least there was no problem in rushing into battle to kill the enemy, and killing the generals and capturing the flag.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Han Yu, if it wasn't for Chu Yi mentioning it, he really didn't know that Han Yu was Han Kun's nephew, but Zhu Houzhao was not surprised by this, because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the guard system back then, set up a military registration, and passed it on from generation to generation, so the phenomenon of Han Yu and Han Kun in the army is very obvious.
"It's quite a general's demeanor."
After praising Han Yu, Zhu Houzhao said: "Commander Han sent you here, but is there anything you have to do with me?" ”
Han Yu took a deep breath and said with a straight expression: "Back to Your Majesty, the command envoy has successfully arrived in Beijing from the Tianjin Wei escort and confiscated Lu Wenyang's property, where should the many belongings on the ship go, and please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
