Chapter 462: Emperor's Heart 1
In less than a day, everyone in King Rong's Mansion knew one thing: Prince Rong and Princess Rong had an awkward quarrel! Princess Rong, who is gentle and friendly and generous on weekdays, has no smile on her face! And the whole person is silent a lot!
The whole palace was panicked, especially when they saw Youcao's angry appearance when they saw Prince Rong, everyone felt that Princess Rong must have been wronged!
Lin Ruo's grievance shows how popular she is in the mansion on weekdays. From the old housekeeper to the cook's maid, everyone came to greet him. Of course, not everyone went to Lin Ruo, knowing that Princess Rong was in a bad mood, they were mostly looking for Youcao, or doing their best to teach Youcao to make the princess happy, or going to find some interesting and strange things to ask Youcao to hand over to Lin Ruo to express their feelings.
Everyone shared the same hatred and hatred for the princess, but they didn't dare to really trouble their unsmiling serious prince, so they could only silently stare at Murong Chong's back angrily to express their united front with Lin Ruo.
And in less than a day, everyone in the court knew one thing: the prince raised his eyebrows this time! The performance of the "Qingmiao Law" not only satisfied Emperor Mingzong, but even the difficulties of the cabinet and the six ministries made the crown prince and Shangyu prefect Zhang Xu deal with it. The prince is motivated and praised by the emperor, which is the great fortune of the country and the people! And the little Shangyu prefect has the emperor's blue eyes, and it is not far away to be promoted and reused!
However, when Li Chang returned to the prince's mansion, there was a faint anger on his face.
Emperor Mingzong basically ordered the "Green Seedling Law" and "Green Seedling Money" that he had put down, including the Lin family's "Star Picking Building" in the form of an auction to let merchants in Beijing bid for the green seedlings of the two rivers and Guangzhou.
There is only one rule, Emperor Mingzong is undecided, and the cabinet and the six Shangshu are also insisting on their own words, and finally stay in place to be determined, and wait for tomorrow to discuss. This article is about the mining rights of the five cities ceded by the country.
Among them, the strongest opposition includes the elder Qiu Pass, the secretary Gu Ting, and the household secretary Shen Di. In addition, there is a cabinet elder and two scholars who hold the golden mean.
Others don't care, but Shen Diming sings against the court, which makes the prince quite angry! So much so that after returning to the Prince's Mansion, after Shen Wanyi sent someone to invite him to see the newly-born pair of Lin'er, the sullen breath in his heart did not dissipate.
In the study of the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Xu has been waiting there for a long time.
"Your Highness, don't be annoyed." Zhang Xu bowed and persuaded patiently, "After all, Qiu Ge Lao is His Highness's teacher, a teacher for one day and a father for life, and what he worries about is not all unreasonable. ”
The prince snorted with a calm face.
More than ten years ago, Qiu Pass was undoubtedly the minister of the humerus and the pillar of the country. But now, he's old! It's just an old stubborn stubborn! If Zhang Xu hadn't secretly pulled his sleeve and stopped him from continuing to argue with Qiu Gelao, he would definitely be able to make it clear to this stubborn and pedantic old man that this suggestion is in line with the country's interests!
Daiguo is rich in ores, so the treasury is abundant. Aside from the gold mines in Danzhou, there are small mining areas all around these five cities, and the mineral deposits around one of them are quite rich.
But there is a corresponding problem in mining these ores.
The four sides of the country are flat, there is no danger to defend, and the five cities that each give up can be the breakthrough point of the direct replacement country that Donglu has driven straight into, but it will also become the weakness of the enemy entering the palace.
If the army is mobilized to exploit the mining deposits, it will inevitably weaken the forces in the north that have already divided and taken over the five cities. Without the intrusion of the Northern Qi cavalry, it was more than enough to deal with the weak Daiguo. But outside of Beiqi, there are other nomadic tribes; Dai Guo is weak, and Zeguo, a strong enemy with a Xuanjia army, is on the side, which should not be ignored!
In addition, in the border between the two countries, the new officials have just taken up their posts, and they are not familiar with the place, and the recruitment of civilians may bring unexpected hidden dangers, and the recruitment of the army will give rise to a separate question of jurisdiction: are these ore mining sergeants under the orders of the northern commanders, or local officials?
In the Prince's Statement, it was suggested that the time-limited mining rights should be sold to the merchants, and then the smelted ores and finished products should be recovered from the merchants at an official price. This was decided by him after discussing with Zhang Xu and Li Yan for many days, of course, it was mainly Li Yan's suggestion.
In this way, it is beneficial to the Lin family, the prince, and the court, but it has moved many people.
Shen Di bore the brunt of this, coupled with the vague and obscure targeting of the prince Tiao Chenli who did not name him, so that he finally found an opportunity to follow Qiu Ai and put forward his own objections.
This is what makes the prince the most angry - this is to show the gap between them in front of everyone! Do you have any grievances that you will not discuss for yourself behind closed doors? Throw people to the front of the emperor, in front of all the old monks!
Although Qiu Ai is pedantic, he raised objections mostly out of public intentions, what about you Shen Di!
Is it really because Shen Wanyi gave birth to a son, so I don't know how thick the sky is?
If it weren't for the fact that it was too risky to make money from the household department, and that there was a handle to corrupt the treasury being held in the hands of others, would he have gone to such great lengths? But this old waste doesn't appreciate it!
"Your Highness, rest your anger! Speaking of which, the Lin family has benefited the most from this mining right. Li Yan proposed this article, and His Royal Highness and Weichen also tried their best to analyze the emperor's article and strictly understand the pros and cons. As for whether it will succeed or not, the decision is in the hands of the emperor. ”
The crown prince frowned slightly: "You mean ......"
"Your Highness is wise," Zhang Xu complimented, and continued, "This matter is done, Your Highness can benefit from it, and it can also make the Lin family stand more firmly on His Highness's side, killing multiple birds with one stone; But no, for His Highness, there is not much loss. Your Highness only needs to tell Li Yan when the time comes, you have done your best, but there are many people in the court who oppose it, such as Gu Shangshu and others......"
Gu Ting and Lin Ruo, that's incompatible! Moreover, borrowing the Rong Wangfu and the Lin family to teach Shen Di a lesson, removing himself from it, and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, it is really clever!
A smile appeared in the prince's eyes: "Sir, you really have a good opinion!" ”
"Your Highness has an overreputation, and what Weichen said is the truth. Some old monks opposed it, so that the emperor did not agree, which is also reasonable. Li Yan is a smart person, and he should understand that the Lin family will not blame His Highness. ”
"Sir's right!" The prince's frowning brows were completely relaxed, "Lone's reflection on his father's example is naturally based on the 'Green Seedling Method' and the 'Green Seedling Method'. These two things, the father agreed, and the goal has been achieved. ”
"Your Highness is very true. However, in front of the emperor, His Royal Highness still needs to insist on his own opinions, and try his best to deal with the inquiries of the elder monks and lords, so as to show your majesty and wisdom in front of the emperor and your lords. Just, don't be too stubborn. ”
"Mr. is right to remind you," the prince held Zhang Xu's hand, and the prince was warm and friendly with the monarch and the minister, "How to deal with it next, please ask Mr. to give me advice." ”
