Chapter 323: I can't bear it

Zhu Houwei is ambitious, has means and is more knowledgeable, but if he plays political tricks, it is estimated that ten of him tied together may not be the opponents of these officials who have been in the officialdom all their lives.

Therefore, we must avoid the important and light, promote our own strengths, avoid our own shortcomings, and use our righteous identity to suppress them.

But in the final analysis, there are limits, otherwise Zhu Houwei will drastically change those systems that cannot be moved lightly as soon as he ascends the throne.

In fact, it doesn't work at all, such as land policy, such as Confucianism and Taoism, which is the core interest of Confucianism's core interests.

So he can only endure, even if he is the emperor!

The purpose of Yang Tinghe's suggestion is very simple, that is, to let the ministers guess why the emperor loves this Zhu Shou so much, and then go to check this Zhu Shou.

There are too many things in this world that can't stand up to investigation at all, as long as it is checked, Zhu Houzhao is Zhu Shou's affairs will most likely surface.

At that time, it will depend on how the ministers respond, and the ministers will have nothing more than two reactions.

One is that since Zhu Shou is Emperor Zhengde, then don't talk about the King of Dingbei, even if Emperor Jiajing gives the world out again, it is estimated that the ministers will not have much opinion, after all, Emperor Jiajing has made too many moves in the past year, so that the ministers already miss Emperor Zhengde a little.

The other is to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but will not continue to object, an important reason why civil officials are reluctant to make generals kings is that they are worried that the generals will become bigger, and finally cause the disaster of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns, or the Ming Dynasty will also have a Zhao Kuangyin.

However, people even gave up the throne and returned the town? Also usurped? Isn't that?

Since it is destined that such a thing will not happen, who would worry about the broken matter of who the emperor will give the king.

"Emperor Zhengde abandoned the country, and there is a public opinion in the history books, but as a generation of emperors, he can't just disappear inexplicably." Yang Tinghe sighed: "So Emperor Zhengde must come out to face the world and give the world an explanation."

"How?"

Yang Tinghe was silent.

Zhu Houwei also knew that this question was really difficult to answer, and Yang Tinghe was unwilling to say or unwilling to say more, because it did not conform to the moral concept of Confucianism.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Houwei sighed: "Yang Qing will go, and he will return to the dynasty after the expiration of Qingqing's filial piety."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Tinghe got up and retired.

When Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet first assistant duty room, he saw that all the elders of the cabinet had gathered, obviously, everyone knew what the purpose of the first assistant was to meet His Majesty, so would the emperor win the favor, and how did Yang Tinghe choose?

But even if the emperor takes away his affection, Yang Tinghe will not accept it, otherwise Yang Shoufu's reputation accumulated in his life can basically be ruined.

They are waiting here to know the results, and once the first assistant leaves, the cabinet will arrange for the future.

Of course, Yang Tinghe is gone, and Liang Chu should be the first assistant, which is not said.

"You're all here." Yang Tinghe smiled and changed into plain clothes, and he had to wear official robes when he met the emperor, but he was now in mourning, and he usually had to wear plain clothes even if he was in the office, and he had to wear filial piety clothes when he returned home.

The etiquette of the Chinese people is greater than the sky, and if you make a slight mistake, you will be impeached.

The elders saluted one after another, and then sat down, and the words that should have been said had already been said, and it was a bit hypocritical to say that they were always saying.

"Your Majesty has given permission for Benfu to return to his hometown to guard the system." Yang Tinghe said slowly: "After this assistant leaves, the position of the first assistant should be temporarily replaced by Liang Fu, I don't know what Liang Fu wants?"

According to the Ming cabinet system, including but not limited to the first assistant, once there is an auxiliary minister who needs to worry about Ding, then the next one in the ranking will be promoted to the next place, but it is not a constant system.

For example, Yang Yiqing is followed by Jiang Mian, if Yang Yiqing is worried, then Jiang Mian will become the third, but it is also temporarily in his position, once Yang Yiqing Ding is over, then after returning to the dynasty, Yang Yiqing is still the third assistant, and Jiang Mian still has to be ranked behind him.

Yang Ting is the same as now, he is gone, and Liang Chu comes up, which is understandable in itself.

Of course, the cabinet has overstepped many times in history, so this is not a custom, it can only be regarded as conventional.

Liang Chu sighed slightly: "Today's saint is eloquent, and the heart of reform is known to the world, the old minister is over sixty years old, and his thinking is conservative, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stand up to today's reform measures, if it is in the same direction, I am afraid that it will also cause the saint to be dissatisfied......"

Yang Tinghe smiled, Liang Chu said this calmly enough, in fact, the deeper meaning is that he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, because he doesn't know how far the reform can go today.

As the emperor's spokesman in the foreign court, if the king is ordinary, but when you meet a lord like Jiajing, if you can't keep up with his pace, then it will inevitably cause the king to be dissatisfied, and then he will be kicked out of the court, for Prince Liang, even if it is a late season.

When Liang Chu is old, as soon as he gets old, his heart of fame and fortune will fade, and there will be fewer things to pursue.

Think about it, he hasn't been in office for a few years, why is he still working so hard?

In the end, even if Daming is ZTE, the brilliance may not fall on his head, at most it is just a little afterglow.

And they have all been in the officialdom for a lifetime, and they have seen the world thoroughly enough.

Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne to do these big things, which one is not appalling, even ancient and unprecedented, this lord seems to want to reform all the malpractices in the world during the period when he is the king, and also to expand the territory, lay a vast territory, so that his achievements far exceed those of the Han Wu Tang Sect!

To be honest, Liang Chu couldn't bear it.

If nothing else, let's just talk about this maladministration......

In the view of Liang Chu, there is a maladministration in front of him, the reason why the royal family did not see it is because the emperor has no bottom to move, and a move will affect the whole body, causing a strong backlash from the gentry of the world.

This maladministration is land!

The two major maladministrations of land!

One is the amount of land exempt from tax!

The emperor once questioned Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, in person, and asked him that he should have enjoyed the right to tax exemption of 2,000 mu of land, but in fact, the land under the name of the Yang family was not only 2,000 mu?

The lifter should only enjoy 400 acres of land tax exemption, but once Xiucai is lifted, the people will be chrysalis away, and many people choose to donate to avoid taxes, and the actual tax exemption is not only 400 acres.

When today's son has a very strong heart to reform maladministration, he can ask Yang Tinghe such a question, which shows that he has already regarded this land tax exemption as maladministration in his heart, and since there are disadvantages, he naturally has to reform.

There is also land annexation, which is one of the most common means for the gentry to use natural and man-made disasters to develop and strengthen themselves, and it is also recognized as one of the biggest drawbacks of all dynasties, and even the demise of successive dynasties is more or less inseparable from land annexation.

The emperor said that he wanted to let the Ming Dynasty no longer have the fate of the dynasty, so would he not do anything about land annexation?
