Chapter 135: Yang Tinghe's Worries
The princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty are generally sixteen or seventeen years old, even if Zhu Houzhao gets married this year, but his marriage has been set in the first year of Zhengde, but what about Zhu Houwei?
Twenty-one, there is no princess, and there is only one bare, which is simply insulting to the royal system!
This is obviously the responsibility of the Zongren Mansion, but the Zongren Mansion can't help it, because this is the meaning of the Queen Mother......
The queen mother means to let King Yong marry Zhang Shaohua, the daughter of Shou Ninghou, if King Yong is just a vassal king, then it doesn't matter if the foreign dynasty is still in the world, but now King Yong is going to become the new monarch, how can this be accepted by the foreign dynasty!
If Zhu Houwei becomes the emperor now, then there is an ancestral system, and he will definitely not be able to marry the daughter of a nobleman, but now King Yong is still only a vassal king, and it is not against the system for him to marry Zhang Shaohua, so if Zhang Shaohua becomes the crown princess, once King Yong succeeds to the throne, he will naturally be the queen of the Middle Palace!
This is the same as the original Yongle Emperor, when the Yongle Emperor was a prince, he married the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, as the princess, and later the Yongle Emperor Jingnan succeeded in becoming the emperor, and the Xu family became the queen, which is also not in violation.
If Emperor Yongle ascended the throne because the Xu family was born in the Wei Mansion, she was deprived of her qualifications to become the queen, wouldn't the people of the world want to say that Emperor Yongle was unkind.
"Lord Yang also knows that the queen mother means to let this king marry the daughter of Shou Ninghou as the princess, how can this king still choose a daughter from the people?"
"Therefore, the prince still ascended the throne early!"
All right...... It's back again......
"You go down, this matter has his own opinion, and it will be handed over to the Zongren Mansion to handle."
"Lord Wang!"
Zhu Houwei waved his hand, looking a little tired.
Yang Tinghe had no choice but to retreat, and it is true that today's three things can not be decided with a conversation.
First put Shouning and waited for Shen to be punished, and then let King Yong be mentally prepared to ascend the throne in advance, which has already achieved the purpose of his visit.
"Ome."
"The slave is here."
"Spread the news of Yang Ting and the meeting with this king today, let the queen mother know the decision of the cabinet, and Shou Ninghou, let him know that this king will become the new emperor, this king is extremely angry at what he did, and he has the intention of cleaning him up and even taking the title and degrading him to the common people, let him go to the queen mother to cry, in addition, that Qian Ning, he is the henchman or the righteous son of the imperial brother, this king is inconvenient to do it directly, let him resign and then arrange for him to go to the imperial brother to serve, this time the king will give the outer court a face, this king also wants to see how Yan Tianyuan chooses between loyalty and filial piety."
"Slave and maid, let's do it."
Zhu Houwei is really tired, really tired, the supreme position that everyone yearns for, but it is not easy to sit firmly, especially his ambition and determination to continue the orthodoxy of China until the modern civilized society, which will only make it more difficult for him.
It's easy to be a faint king, it's hard to be a bright king, and if you want to become a saint, it's only going to be even more difficult!
Cabinet duty.
Today's cabinet since Li Dongyang Zhishi only Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu two, in the cabinet, which is absolutely a place to discuss seniority, the first cabinet of Liang Chu but succumbed to Yang Tinghe, this phenomenon is extremely rare.
But obviously, Liang Chu doesn't care, sometimes if you don't fight, you will fight, and one day what belongs to him will belong to him, and if you don't belong to him, when you reach his current status, you may not be able to fight.
At this time, the two pavilion elders sat opposite each other, and Yang Tinghe took a sip of tea and said: "What Ben Fu said when he met King Yong in the imperial study is now spreading in the court and the opposition, this is deliberately done by King Yong, what does Shu Hou think King Yong's move means?"
Liang Chu smiled lightly: "Today is quite benevolent, but his temperament is rebellious and he doesn't like to be restrained, so he has no intention of taking the throne, and King Yong ......."
Liang Chu wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Tinghe smiled when he saw this: "Why is Uncle Hou spitting and spitting, you and I are ministers of the same court, if you have anything to say, you can speak bluntly."
Prince Liang sighed: "Throughout the ages, only today can regard imperial power as dung, King Yong, as a royal nobleman, is also the son of the former emperor, but because of his young age, he missed the throne, and the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty was kept in captivity by the royal family, although he was powerless to resist, who could be willing in his heart?" Now that King Yong has been appointed by His Majesty to supervise the country, it is a great opportunity for him, Shoufu's words yesterday have been spread today, it is obvious that King Yong did it deliberately, and King Yong is building momentum for his succession! ”
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "King Yong is indeed building momentum, since the momentum shows that King Yong has the heart to reach the top, he released the news of persuasion to ascend the throne, as for Shou Ninghou and Qian Ning are warnings, but the matter of the cabinet marriage is also spreading, what does Shu Hou think?"
Prince Liang said with a smile: "Obviously, King Yong doesn't want to marry Zhang Shaohua, but he can't convince the Queen Mother, so he wants to use the power of public opinion to force the Queen Mother to change her mind."
"It's a good idea." Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "I just don't know if King Yong's ascension to the throne is a plus or a cons."
Liang Chuqi said: "Why is Shoufu so worried?"
Yang Tinghe sighed: "If it weren't for the playfulness of today, it would not be difficult for me to prosper the Ming Dynasty, and today may be able to become a generation of Ming monarchs, and the eternal king...... Yongwang's means are not bad, he has been supervising the country for several months, reforming the three camps, moving Fangshan, and rectifying Tongzhou, all of which show his vigorous and resolute skills, and he did these things without spending a penny of silver, which shows that Yongwang can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, which is very different from today, but these are not enough to make Benfu worry, what Benfu is worried about is Yongwang's attitude towards the famous religion! ”
Liang Chu's face was slightly solemn and said, "Shoufu means ......"
"Yongwang likes craftsmanship, before the feudal domain built several workshops in the capital, to create some strange and obscene things, maybe this is a hobby and there is no beak, but Yongwang opened a restaurant in Huzhou, borrowed silver from merchants to build credit and opened a bank, and opened a grand theater last year to make profits, a few days ago he also summoned three businessmen in the imperial study to teach him face-to-face, these things show that Yongwang is good for business, Benfu is worried that Yongwang will learn from the former Song Dynasty to prosper business, and redraw business taxes!"
Liang Chu silently, the reason why the former Song Dynasty was rich, and the wealth was rich in taxes, not only commercial taxes but all taxes were heavy, so the uprisings in the former Song Dynasty were simply as many as cattle hairs, although there was no real big uprising that could threaten the survival of the society, but it can also illustrate a problem, that is, the people's hard taxes have reached the point where they have to rise up.
Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty in order to restore the people's livelihood and develop the economy, so the implementation of the policy of light taxation, of which the commercial tax and the former Song Dynasty is simply not worth mentioning, but today, the recovery of all industries in the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of private commerce, why not change the commercial tax?
It is because too many gentry are involved in the business road, and the gentry represent the scholar class, and the scholar is closely related to the officialdom, and the heavy commercial tax is undoubtedly to touch the personal interests of the entire officialdom.
This is especially serious in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
