Jiajing almost glared at Xu Qian, but Xu Qian knew that Jiajing's anger was not just the object of his eyes, his gaze had penetrated the void and looked at a group.

Jiajing was too smart, and the smarter the person, the more painful it was, and it was precisely because of this cleverness that he saw through the essence of the so-called imperial power, which was not in the hands of life and death, and even most of the time, this man was not the ruler of the dynasty at all, although he was nominally.

This is what Jiajing suffered, if it were other emperors, he would have liked to be so easy, but for a person as talented as Jiajing, all his exuberant energy could no longer be like Emperor Taizu to do it himself, because the system built by Taizu had long been unrecognizable.

His sources are completely dependent on others, his ears and eyes are on others, and all he can do is make decisions based on the information obtained from others, and even then, he must listen to others' opinions.

If you are someone else, most of you would like to hide from this leisure, but Jiajing is different, at least not the current Jiajing, he prides himself on being smart, and he is eager to do a big career at this time, Xu Qian believes that Jiajing, the second year of Jiajing, must have this idea.

But......

Jiajing had a sneer on his face, and this smile became even more intimidating as he and Xu Qian deepened their conversation. He suddenly grabbed Xu Qian's hand, looked at Xu Qian deeply, and said, "Can I entrust you with great things?" ”

This tone is actually with a certain desire, how many people in this world wish that the emperor could entrust them with great things, but who in this world is sincere? As long as they gain the trust of the emperor, they will immediately learn to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and learn to disobey the yang and the yin.

Jiajing's face was always indifferent, because he had seen through many truths, and he had already vowed never to trust anyone again.

Xu Qian...... is an exception.

Jiajing saw himself from this young man, this young man was also selfish, and even a little black-hearted, but he was very wise, Jiajing seemed to believe in his own feelings this time, although this person also has a careful eye, but he is by no means only eager for fame and fortune, this person is mercenary on the surface, but he must also have his ideals in his heart.

Jiajing even felt that this person's ideals coincided with his own ideals, of course, the most important thing was that Jiajing believed in his ability, although it was the first time they met, Jiajing felt that this person knew him very well, even more thoroughly than his own understanding of himself, this sense of confidant, so that Jiajing, who had been aggrieved for two years, suddenly had a feeling of joy.

When he asked this, Xu Qian's face hesitated.

It's ridiculous to say, the emperor asked him if he could entrust him with a big event, and when such a big thing came to the door, Xu Qian actually hesitated.

Xu Qian naturally has his considerations, he knows Jiajing's personality too well, this person can't be entrusted lightly, of course, Xu Qian can choose Yang Feng Yin violation, but Yang Feng Yin Violation, what is the end, Xu Qian may be able to hide this person for a day or two, but with Jiajing's cleverness, how can he not see through it?

Xu Qian's hesitation made Jiajing feel satisfied, he saw many people who promised without hesitation, and often such people were the most unreliable.

After a long time, Xu Qian sighed and said, "Isn't the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty enough to win the trust of His Majesty?" ”

Jiajing hooked his hand at Xu Qian and said, "You continue to come with me." ”

He didn't explain much, but took Xu Qian to a side hall, this temple is in a remote location, but there are a few old eunuchs stationed here, seeing Jiajing coming, these people seem to be accustomed to it, and hurriedly kneel to greet them.

Jiajing didn't even look at them, with a solemn look on his face, and then led Xu Qian into the hall.

This is not so much a hall, but a mourning hall, the setting here is very simple, and the spirit table is placed with the spirit card of the emperor.

But to say that it is the first emperor, but it is not right, because the emperor has always had a temple number, but this one is just a simple writing of the first emperor exam.

Xu Qian immediately understood whose spiritual position this was, he glanced at Jiajing, and saw Jiajing looking at this spiritual position in a daze, and then said slowly: "Do you see the three words of this first emperor's exam?" There is no such emperor in the Taimiao, now this person is still the king of Xingxian, I am already the son of heaven, but my father is my uncle, what is even more ridiculous is that the Manchu civil and military forces you just said, they would rather focus on fighting with me for the identity of the emperor than talk about government affairs with me. If it is a great drought, why do the victims eat the bark of trees? But they are just perfunctory, but they are also thinking about the number of the first emperor's temple. ”

Speaking of this, Jiajing squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that there is a king on Dongying Island, but their king never governs, and all the affairs of the country come from the shogunate, by the general

Leading, according to me, these people wish I could be deaf and blind, so that the cabinet can become the shogunate, and the cabinet bachelor will be the shogun. He turned sideways, smiled at Xu Qian, and said, "What, you don't believe it?" ”

Xu Qian actually did not agree with Jiajing's malicious speculation, after all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen to the role of a hypocrite, but Xu Qian did see this trend, and if it was allowed to develop like this, it was only a matter of time before the power returned to the cabinet.

He neither nodded nor shook his head, but just sighed and said, "Your Majesty is serious." ”

Jiajing said: "Why, you don't have a word to say to me?" ”

Xu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "If Your Majesty wants to use his talents in the right place, the first thing to do is to be autonomous. ”

Jiajing held the incense case on the side, lowered his chin slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "You go on." ”

Xu Qian said: "The cabinet naturally has the responsibilities of the cabinet, but the palace must also hold its own rights, such as disaster relief, often need to allocate money and grain from the treasury, and the treasury is placed under the household department, and there is a cabinet above, Your Majesty wants to act, at most it is just to ask, after all, it still can't interfere directly, but what if the court has to turn to the palace?" ”

Jiajing seemed to have an understanding: "You mean to transfer it from the inner treasury?" ”

Talking to smart people is to save trouble, at least there are not so many whys, Xu Qian smiled: "That's roughly the truth, whoever has a money bag in his hand will have more confidence, if the foreign official doesn't explain things clearly, His Majesty will cover the money bag, who can help His Majesty?" ”

Jiajing shook his head and sighed, and said: "That's what I said, but all the tax money and grain are filled into the treasury, this is the ancestral law, if I advocate this, I am afraid that the whole world will do the right thing with me." ”

Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen means that the treasury is insufficient, and the inner treasury will kill it." There are only so many taxes paid by the imperial court every year, and His Majesty does not need to make an idea of this. ”

Jiajing groaned: "Could it be that you have a way to gather wealth? My inner treasury is indeed tight, especially this year, after the removal of the guards in various places, the use of the palace has been repeatedly reduced, and it is still difficult to maintain. ”

Xu Qian said: "The method of gathering wealth is nothing more than to open source and reduce expenditure, but the cost in the palace is also large, so many nobles and eunuchs, palace laves, plus the royal horse eunuch has to raise soldiers, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, it sounds like a lot, if it is not for the annual tribute from all over the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain in the palace for a long time." ”

Xu Qian talked eloquently, more importantly, this guy is actually very clear about the expenses in the palace, in fact, before coming, Xu Qian had done enough homework, from the time when Jiajing abolished the eunuchs, Xu Qian felt wrong, he had deliberately studied the expenses in the palace, and finally came to the conclusion that if there was bankruptcy in this era, the palace would have been bankrupt a long time ago.

Many people often mistakenly think that the annual income of tens of millions of taels of silver is specially used by the emperor alone, in fact, this is a misunderstanding, this expenditure involves a wide range of expenses, from the eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace, to the expenses of the local bureaus, as well as the warrior camps under the imperial horse supervisor, and even the expenses of the clan of the Zongling Mansion, are counted in it.

Just this amount of money, enough to feed the eunuchs, palace e'es, clans, officials and soldiers as many as tens of thousands, some of the later generations of dramas, there are always emperor Lao Tzu with a wave of his hand to give people a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is simply a joke for the Ming Dynasty, the palace reward has actually been very stingy, at most it is to give you how many horses of silk, a pair of jade, because these things are often tribute, you have to let the palace take out real money and silver to reward, that is, the emperor Lao Tzu has to scratch his head.

After discovering this, Xu Qian decided to make a fuss about this, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, a family of merchants can collect millions of dollars in just a few decades, as the Son of Heaven, is it not as good as a businessman?" Therefore, the students think that the most important thing is to open source, and only by opening up financial resources can the treasury be abundant, and with the money bag, the palace will have more confidence. ”

Jiajing couldn't help but bow his head and couldn't help laughing: "You came up with this idea, there must be a good solution, what can you do?" ”

Xu Qian said: "There is actually one way, peddling the holy decree......"

Hearing this, Jiajing was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Xu Qian viciously, he could almost tell that Xu Qian was obviously entertaining him, what was the holy decree? The Holy Decree is a token of the Son of Heaven, how noble is it, to peddle this? Isn't the prestige of this palace gone? Jiajing is willing to sell the official mantle, and he will never beat this idea to the point of reselling the holy decree.

He couldn't help but scold: "You guy, I usually see that you have some cleverness, who knew that you would come up with such a bad idea, aren't you just entertaining?" ”
