Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

After the end of the morning dynasty that day, Zhu Si once again summoned the four cabinet ministers.

First, he talked about the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the imperial court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after Zhao Huang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to Shangshu, the position left behind has been vacant, and these vacancies can be discussed in the long run, and there may not be a need to rush for a while, but now it involves the construction of Kangling, as well as the supervision of river construction and other issues, all things are complicated, I want to set the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, so as not to have a backlog of affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and also make the secretaries of the court and the central government worried."

The emperor wanted to arrange more people to the court to enhance his right to speak.

On this matter, the few people present basically had no opinions.

Zhu Sidao: "If you think it is feasible, I propose that Yin Tongrui of Shuntian Mansion fill this position...... He is old and serious, and he should be able to do this errand. If you agree, then tomorrow you will find someone to bring it up to the court, or find a few people to compare their abilities, and the court will decide. ”

The new emperor is very face-saving to Yang Tinghe, involving the appointment of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and specially called several cabinet ministers over to discuss it first.

Yang Tinghe nodded.

This matter can be regarded as a decision made in advance, and Tong Rui is regarded as an alternative, and he is also the most popular candidate, and in the end, he said otherwise.

After saying this, it soon came to the more important matter, that is, the addition of the head of the household department.

“…… Elder Yang Ge, this is a joint performance by the household department to Shao Xi and others in the matter, proposing that I should add a new director to the household department to be responsible for the disposal of the Huangzhuang field, which violates the etiquette law, please take back the order, you can take a look. ”

Zhu Si was very polite and handed over the performance directly to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe already knew the content of it, those people jointly played, or did he secretly send someone to instruct him, how could it be unclear?

Mao Jidao: "This move is also not to violate the old system, or there are merits......

The words are very polite, there are merits, which means that you, the emperor, will know the difficulties and retreat, don't think about all the work, isn't it good to be honest as your own emperor?

Zhu Sidao: "I also think they have a point, I have already issued an order to inquire, since there is no new official position in the household department to supervise this matter, how should we solve the problem?"

"In the past, the stewards of Huangzhuang were all considered to be traitors around the emperor, and they were all eliminated, but now the farmland of Huangzhuang is idle there, and it seems that there is only one way to sell? Do you want to hand it over to the Governor's Mansion again, so that they can sell it cheaply, cheapen those rich and powerful ministers, and let the court suffer? ”

When Mao Ji heard it, something was wrong, just raising objections without proposing specific solutions was not a good strategy, so I still didn't speak.

Whoever proposed it let it be solved, didn't you Yang Zhongtang do it?

Yang Zhongtang, who are you not going to go to at this time?

The problem was thrown to Yang Tinghe.

After Yang Tinghe finished reading the recital, he said cautiously: "Maybe it can be handed over to others in the household department to deal with, and there is no need to set up a special official position." ”

"Okay."

Zhu Si agreed without thinking, "Tens of thousands of hectares of land, my request is very simple, either continue to take care of it and not increase the burden on the imperial court, or sell it to increase the income of the treasury, but I just ask that the price of the land sold cannot be lower than the price of the good ripe land at the beginning of the year."

"Now that time is pressing, I have heard that the fields in the north are planted with wheat and millet, and the seeds are sown after autumn, and the farming work cannot afford to be delayed, otherwise...... These fields were barren, firstly, to reduce the harvest of the imperial court, and secondly, to ...... Gyeonggi is the best place, and the fields of Huangzhuang are deserted there, and it is inevitable to laugh and be generous. ”

Yang Tinghe instantly felt that this little emperor's attack was extraordinary.

Give a goal, let you follow this goal, the goal is not out of reach, but do not provide you with funds and manpower, let you solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, you will be punished......

"One Sword Alone"

What a bastard who follows the rules!

If we use rules to oppress you, you will use rules to govern us?

Zhu Si further said: "Elder Yang Ge, this matter is a bit tricky, I don't want to solve it for a while, with my idea, I can hire tenants to come back to farm, and it is not too late to deal with it slowly, this matter must be presided over by a powerful person." It's better to be like this, I heard that Ling Lang is a profound learner, and he has always been respected in the Han Garden, it is better for him to temporarily take this errand until the end of the year, I also want to give him a chance to do practical things, what do you think? ”

Yang Tinghe almost wanted to hit someone when he heard it.

You know it's tricky, but you let my son do this errand?

The rest of the cabinet officials heard that the emperor was clearly giving Yang Tinghe a problem, and the monarch and ministers created a tense atmosphere in a calm and pleasant conversation.

Zhu Sixiao hid a knife in his face, and slowly poked a murderous sword in front of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe could certainly hear the anger in the new emperor's words.

I kindly proposed to add a person to the head of the household department, and I didn't say who would take over, and you directly found someone to play to plug my mouth for the sake of the party, okay, don't you think this position should not be increased? Then you have a solution!

There is no way to fart, and I don't want to solve the problem yet, just thinking about selling the land cheaply and returning the silver to the household department, and there will be no hidden danger of the Huangzhuang from now on, but the question is who will bear the loss of selling the Huangzhuang cheaply?

Yuan Zonggao came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of adding a head to the household department, in the opinion of the old minister, it is still necessary. ”

At this time, Yuan Zonggao also had a headache, now the two sides are difficult to ride a tiger, the atmosphere of confrontation is fully rendered, the new emperor and Yang Tinghe no one wants to retreat, the scene is deadlocked, then only I, Yuan someone, came out to be this peacemaker, let's take a step back and open the sky, okay?

Zhu Si asked, "Elder Yuan Ge, can you call the shots in this matter?" With so many objections, if I insist on adding a head of the household department, wouldn't it be a mess of the rules and regulations of the imperial court? It's better to dispose of it with the existing people...... I don't want to have a reputation for being stubborn at the beginning of my succession. ”

If the little emperor was still smiling and hiding a knife before, now it is a poor dagger.

"Although things can be discussed in the long run, don't delay until after the autumn sowing, let the household department and the people of the DPRK and China discuss it on their own, to see if it is necessary to increase the position, if there is indeed a need, think about who will take on this responsibility, I don't want to fall into the notoriety of nepotism, whoever will do it, just don't look for someone related to Xingwangfu...... So be it. Ladies and gentlemen, let someone send you away......"

……

……

It was another unhappy court summons.

Yang Tinghe held back the fire in his belly, and at the same time heard that it was imperative for the household department to increase the main matter, and he found someone to oppose this matter, not only did not play a role in deterring the little emperor, but buried himself in the pit.

Not to mention the tension between the monarch and the minister, he was also criticized by the emperor for not finding a solution, thinking that he was Yang Tinghe dictatorial and disregarded the interests of the court.

On the issue of the Great Rites Discussion, Yang Tinghe could still stand on the moral high ground to criticize the little emperor's misdeeds, but in this matter, the little emperor turned against the guest and sharply criticized them from the moral high ground to control the order of the Ming Dynasty.

"Jiefu, look at ......"

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Mian couldn't help but ask Yang Tinghe's opinion to see if it was necessary to compromise.

Yang Tinghe knew that Yuan Zonggao was beside him and it was inconvenient to speak, but he still did not avoid suspicion: "Do you think that if you dispose of the Huangzhuang fields together without increasing the number of manpower, or continue to take care of the business, how many manpower will be needed?" ”

"A hundred?"

Mao Ji tentatively said a number.

Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, this is only on the surface, some private fields, coupled with the operation of the manor, and all kinds of bad things, a hundred people are not enough to take care of.

Yang Tinghe asked again: "Then how many people do you think the household department can allocate to take care of this matter?" ”

Jiang Mian next to him replied with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's difficult for one person." ”

The few people present knew very well that the people in the household department were all taking money for food, and the imperial court did not increase funds or send people to assist, and it was impossible to rely on those officials with specific functions in the household department to free up their hands to solve this matter.

Previously, Yang Tinghe handed over the disposal of the Imperial Village to the Governor's Mansion, also because he really couldn't transfer manpower, so it was better to use interests as bait to let the people of the Governor's Mansion make profits from it, which could not only solve the problem of the Imperial Village that had existed since the beginning of Chenghua, but also cheapen those nobles, sell personal favors, and increase the income of the household department......

It was originally a good idea, but for some reason the emperor knew, it stands to reason that even if the emperor figured out the inside story, he should wait for the emperor's fields to be sold, and find someone to report it, at that time, even if the emperor suffered a dumb loss, he could only admit it, who knew that now the matter has just begun to be noticed by the emperor and stopped.

At present, the emperor is even more problematic, either to continue to take care of the imperial village without manpower, or to sell the land and to the market price of the fields in the capital at the beginning of the year.

Is this possible?

Yang Tinghe suddenly thought of something and asked, "Who was coordinating this matter in the Governor's Mansion before?" ”

Jiang Mian suddenly understood, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Shouning and Marquis Jianchang?" ”

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he almost wanted to vomit blood, how could he forget this pair of living treasure brothers? Interests are at the forefront, they rely on the support of their sister Empress Dowager Zhang, as well as the merit of supporting the new emperor, of course, they steal this kind of errand full of oil and water, with their flamboyant character, it is strange that they can not be known.

But if you ask in advance and find a low-key nobleman to take charge of this matter, you will not be known by the new emperor so quickly and be quickly stopped.

It is precisely because the two brothers of the Zhang family are not distressed to sell their grandfathers, and their arrogant and domineering faces that annoy the new emperor who has just ascended the throne and is controlled everywhere, that the new emperor's counterattack is so swift that many ministers cannot come to power in this matter.

"Set!" Yang Tinghe immediately made a decision, "There is an additional person in charge of the household department, if everything goes well, this position will be abolished in a short time." ”

Jiang Mian heard the crux of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "Does that mean that the farmland in Huangzhuang must be sold?" Instead of continuing to operate? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "It is impossible for the imperial court to allocate so many people, and it will not raise so many idlers!" This accumulation of disadvantages should be eradicated at once! ”
