Chapter 303: Take off your hat
Zhu Houwei knew very well that Zhu Houzhao's biggest dream in this life was to raise troops on the grassland like the champion Hou, but as an emperor, he had too much helplessness and too many things to carry, and these were the fundamentals that oppressed him and made it difficult for him to move.
But fortunately, he still has such a younger brother as Zhu Houwei, so he found the right opportunity, and this guy decisively threw the pot and smashed the throne that pressed him to breathe like garbage on Zhu Houwei's body.
Without the constraints of the crown, for Zhu Houzhao, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can leap, and he can finally realize his dream of becoming a generation of famous generals.
The battle of Dushikou made the little Mongolian prince dare not invade south for a while, but it must be unbearable for Zhu Houzhao, so it is inevitable to take the initiative to attack.
At least when the news that Zhu Houzhao led 3,000 troops out of the customs was placed on Zhu Houwei's royal table, Zhu Houwei did not feel the slightest strange, on the contrary, for him, it would be strange if he found that his brother could hold back and not move.
That's right, Zhu Houzhao has no intention at all to lead troops out of the customs!
Of course, let Zhu Houzhao ask him for instructions before leaving the customs later, Zhu Houwei also felt that he didn't have such a big face......
As for Zhu Houzhao's mobilization of the cavalry of the border troops stationed in Datong and Jizhen to go to Xuanfu, it is indeed Zhu Houwei's will, and the holy decree stamped with the big seal is blank at all, to put it simply, Zhu Houzhao wants to fill in what he wants, and there is more than one such holy decree......
To put it simply, Zhu Houwei's attitude towards the imperial brother Zhu Houzhao is very simple, that is, he doesn't care, let him do whatever he wants, and he also believes that with the protection of the new army, Zhu Houzhao's safety will not have any problems.
What's more, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, the more you want to restrain him, the greater the backlash, so it's better to simply let go of the stocking, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't die with your life, then the brothers will always have a day of reunion.
But now Zhu Houwei needs to wipe Zhu Houzhao's buttocks......
Because at this time, Wang Qiong had already taken off her official hat......
Generally speaking, there are three situations in which the officials of the Ming Dynasty take off their official hats.
One is to be impeached, once the official is impeached, he will take off his hat and say that he is now guilty, and when the emperor says he doesn't care or other words of relief, or proves that he is right, he will wear it back, that is, he will take it back as a formality, and the person who is impeached and the person who is impeached will not take it seriously.
The second is that he is indeed guilty, which is a resignation due to guilt, of course, in this case, it is generally not a big mistake, if it is really a big mistake, it is not to take off his hat.
The last is to retreat into advance, to resign to coerce the king, to say that he is old, and then beg for bones and so on.
Obviously, Wang Qiong belongs to the third type, of course, it is not necessarily to retreat, or it may be really tired so she has the idea of retreating.
Since the establishment of the ministry system, the six ministries of rites, officials, criminals, soldiers, households, and workers have all performed their own duties and governed the world in different categories.
The three provinces are gone, the prime minister is gone, and the status of the six Shangshu can be said to have reached the peak in the Ming Dynasty, especially the Ministry of Officials!
It is also a tradition that the officials of the Ministry of Heaven do not enter the cabinet, because the power and responsibility of the officials are too large, large enough to compete with the head and auxiliary of the cabinet, and for the emperor, the relationship between the Ministry of Officials and the cabinet is also in line with the king's way of balance.
After all, no emperor wants his court to be monolithic, and that kind of court will only make the monarch's power constrained everywhere, and even threaten the imperial power.
Zhang Juzheng, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, was such a ruthless person, the inner court, the harem, and the outer court helped each other, so that Emperor Wanli was almost not driven crazy.
For a ten-year-old child who is about to enter a rebellious period, Zhang Juzheng's actions can only make him dare not be angry and dare not speak, so Zhang Juzheng died, and the reckoning followed.
Poor Zhang Juzheng, who suppressed the court before his death, could make the emperor tremble with a look, and Zhang Juzheng, who had done his best for the revival of the Ming Dynasty all his life, was almost whipped after his death......
Of course, it is recorded in the history books that 'when the coffin is dissected and killed, it is spared.' ’
This means that Emperor Wanli intends to open Zhang Juzheng's coffin and poke his body, and finally let it go.
That is, there is no whip......
Zhu Houwei believes that Wanli does have plans to whip Zhang Juzheng's corpse, but he didn't dare to move, no matter what, Zhang Juzheng is the emperor, and at the same time has made an indelible contribution to the revival of the Ming Dynasty.
The six parts of the Jiajing Dynasty are undoubtedly a tragedy......
For example, the household department, the most important function of the household department is to collect taxes, but the emperor made a tax department!
The tax department is responsible for collecting the taxes of the world, and directly deprives the local government of the power to collect taxes, and although this tax department is under the name of the household department, but the bullshit director of the tax department is directly responsible to the emperor, of course, the household department will not care too much.
After all, this director is still concurrently served by Zuo Shilang of the household department, and Zuo Shilang is still a Confucian minister.
But everyone knows that the emperor will never let go of the direct control of the tax department, and the reason why he is now letting the left servant of the household department concurrently serve is entirely because there is no one available, or because he does not want to cause a strong backlash from the courtiers.
In other words, sooner or later, the emperor will definitely brazenly act against the tax department!
Therefore, Yang Yiqing, the head of the household department, was depressed and found that in the past, the household department tried every means to empty the emperor's small treasury, but now in the Jiajing Dynasty, the emperor hollowed out his mind and wanted to completely return the financial power to the imperial family.
This is definitely not just a casual talk, you must know what kind of audit office the emperor has made in the inner court!
At first, no one knew what the Audit Office was, but then it did......
To put it bluntly, this audit office is to review and calculate, fully correspond to the tax department, have the right to calculate and review taxes, and have the right to independently audit the use of taxes!
The emperor did not mean to let the tax money be charged into the inner treasury, in fact, he could not snatch it, otherwise he would have to fry the pot, but the existence of the audit office was equivalent to choking the throat of the household department, so that the entire household department lost the arbitrary right to use taxes!
Not to mention anything else, just the entry and exit of the accounts have been verified by the audit office, which directly cut off the corruption of the household officials and eliminated any possibility of making false accounts!
But who can oppose this policy?
No one, because this is a conspiracy, there is no reason for the household department to oppose it at all, if you oppose it, you just want to embezzle, since they are all righteous men and gentlemen, why are they afraid of being investigated?
Without the authority to use finance independently, the household department almost lost more than half of its functions, and it was also the first opening that the emperor pried open in the six departments.
In addition to the household department, it is the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the construction of the project, what does the project include?
Repair bridges and pave roads, build palaces, build imperial tombs, etc., but all the people's livelihood construction and royal construction that the Ming Dynasty needs are basically under the management of the Ministry of Industry!
