@@朝堂上氛围非常压抑.

For the discerning people among the ministers, this is beyond the normal game between the monarch and the minister, and the courtiers are clearly denying the emperor's merits in an extreme way, and want to force the emperor to give up the power in his hands, and promise not to do anything against the minister's wishes.

Zhu Si's face was ugly, and at this time he realized that he was being maliciously targeted.

Even if some of the ministers present want to stand up and speak for him, they must also take into account the issue of the common advance and retreat of the civilian bureaucracy, and whoever comes out will almost ruin the political future of himself and his future generations.

Who would dare to take this step?

As a neutral, Sun Jiao couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw this scene.

A so-called dragon vein dispute wants to make the emperor return the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he earned out of thin air, and close the coal mine in Xishan?

But from the very beginning, the civilian clique did not oppose the opening of the coal mine, right?

When the southeast coastal defense was first proposed, why did no one propose that opening the ore vein would damage the Daming dragon vein? You only realize this today?

However, even if Sun Jiao held back his words, he still chose to tolerate this matter.

Not for anything else...... I just don't want to cause trouble.

The literati's idea of moderation is, to put it bluntly, a kind of cowardice, and the first thing that comes to mind when encountering an incident is to watch the fire from the other side, obviously full of anger in his chest, but he chooses to greet people with a smile when he comes to the end.

At this moment, a person walked from the back of the crowd to the front, and his eyes focused on him, as if he became the focus of the scene.

Originally, he was also the focus.

Tang Yin.

For others, speaking for the new emperor is tantamount to blaming the civil bureaucracy, thinking about their own political future and future generations, and not daring to come out to defend the emperor.

But what is Tang Yin afraid of?

Just like if I don't say it, you will treat me as a member of the civil service and accept me willingly?

Besides, I don't even have a son, even if I have a step-son in the future, he can't read it, I'm afraid of a ball.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Tang Yin said.

Zhu Si looked at Tang Yin with expectant eyes, and said with his head bowed: "Tang Qing's family, you ...... say"

Tang Yin's heart was also turbulent at this time, and he was amazed by Zhu Hao's keen insight, because all this in front of him was within Zhu Hao's prediction, and he even thought of a countermeasure for him.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the dragon vein is too illusory and unsubstantial, and it should not be used as an excuse to block the great plan of mining in Xishan." Tang Yin said.

Most of the Wenchen present thought that Tang Yin could say something "high-minded", but when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

That's it?

The dragon veins are ethereal?

Do you need to talk about this?

Can you say that metaphysical things can be said accurately?

In the past, Xishan did not open mines, and even if the imperial court opened, it would sit idly by, isn't it because of the existence of metaphysics? Now that you, Tang Yin, are in charge of mining in Xishan, of course you will say so, your reason is not convincing at all!

Mao Ji Zhengse said: "The matter of the dragon vein, or the legend, cannot be believed but also must not be believed. In the past, the land around Jingshi had not been opened to open a mining kiln, which is why now, but now Xishan is wantonly breaking ground, if the real dragon vein is damaged and endangers the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no one can bear this responsibility!"

"That's right."

Many of the ministers present agreed with Mao Ji's statement.

Even some neutral ministers felt that Mao Ji was right.

Tang Yin took a moment to say: "Then in addition to mining in Xishan, mining in other places in the Ming Dynasty, such as Shaanxi, or the Central Plains, there is no problem, and the auction of mining kilns can also become a rule, right?"

"Huh?

”

This question instantly stopped Mao Ji.

We are preventing the mining in Xishan, nominally saying that the dragon veins are damaged, but in fact, we want to prevent you from auctioning the mine to make a profit!

Listening to your words, it seems that the closure of the coal mine in Xishan has no effect on you, and you are bent on making the auction of the mine a rule, so as to continue?

Mao Ji didn't expect Tang Yin's question to be so sharp, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while, so he had to look at Yang Tinghe and wait for the first assistant to give a strategy.

unexpectedly

After waiting for a long time, Yang Tinghe did not move, and no one gave an accurate answer, Tang Yin couldn't help shaking his head and continued: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the court has suffered a lot of deficits, and it has been subject to the rampant female cadres of the previous dynasty. As well as the stability of the southeast coastal defense, His Majesty has to raise money and food on his own, so in such a difficult time, you still have to argue about the dragon vein?

"I just entered the court, and I really don't understand this kind of thing, is it important to keep the stability of the court, or is it important to protect the ethereal and groundless dragon vein?"

Yu Lin, the general political envoy, came out: "This is absurd, protecting the dragon vein is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is the top priority!"

Tang Yin said: "Then tell me, what is the fortune of the Ming Dynasty?" How to prove that the country is not in good luck? Just because of opening a mine in Xishan, my Ming national fortune was damaged? How do you determine if it's damaged?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Yu Lin pointed at Tang Yin and scolded, but he couldn't say why.

Metaphysical things, if you can come up with a reasonable reason, there will be ghosts.

Yang Tinghe squinted at Tang Yin.

In the eyes of many people, Tang Yin's "poor donkey skills" was precisely because he couldn't find a reason to refute the civil official's theory about the dragon vein, so Tang Yin questioned the ministers present about metaphysical things.

You Tang Yin is just a sesame mung bean petty official from the fifth grade, who will take your opinion seriously?

"Tang Yin......"

Tong Rui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, wanted to come forward to question again, but was stopped by Zhu Si.

Zhu Sidao: "Don't talk about it yet!" Let me hear your ...... first The opening of coal kilns in Xishan may damage the Daming dragon vein, so you still answer the previous question of the Tang Qing family, the coal mine in Xishan is gone, and the coal kilns in various places in the future, will the mining also damage the Daming dragon vein? I'm talking about the coal kilns around the non-Kyoto division......"

"If there is no damage, then in the future, the coal kilns in various places will be auctioned as yesterday, right?"

At this time, Zhu Si was very angry.

Since I can't tell the truth about the metaphysical dragon vein, then I won't fight with you, and now I will talk about whether the mine can be auctioned in the future!

Can the plan set by me and Zhu Hao to collect mining taxes continue!

Don't you civil servants like to avoid the important and trivialize? Then I want you to make a promise now!

The civil officials present, including Zou Wensheng and Tong Rui, who had raised questions before, were unable to stand up and speak at this time, which obviously exceeded the opposition strategy that Yang Tinghe had formulated for them before.

Yang Tinghe was also very annoyed in his heart.

In his imagination, as long as the matter of the dragon vein is raised, and the little emperor can't refute it, then this matter will not be talked about anymore, and no one in the civil officials dares to question it

Who would have thought that Tang Yin would be bold enough to run out and question it directly, and even hit the nail on the head to mention the issue of regulations, which is tantamount to disrupting his Yang Tinghe's plan.

Yang Tinghe gritted his teeth and came out: "Your Majesty, no!"

As soon as these words came out, although the ministers present also expected it, they still didn't expect Yang Tinghe's attitude to be so resolute.

After all, the person who proposed to auction the coal kiln before was also Yang Tinghe.

Speaking of dragon veins, you are quite reasonable, and now you have to oppose even the regulations, so Yang Tinghe's move to specifically target the little emperor's financial autonomy is even more obvious.

"Hahaha."

Zhu Sisi smiled and said, "I heard it, as long as it is decided by me, you all have to oppose it, so to sum up, it is not to see whether this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, but to see whether it is decided by me, right?" Hahaha......

It is rare for an emperor to laugh at himself in front of all the ministers.

And to put it so desolately, it seems that this emperor is just a puppet, and he can't call the shots at all.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, everything has a law."

"What's that law?"

Zhu Si stood up and looked at everyone present angrily, "You said that there is no silver in the southeast coastal defense, and it costs 200,000 taels, but the current household department does not say 200,000 taels, and even 20,000 taels cannot be transferred!" Then you came to me and complained to me, and let me figure it out for myself!?

"Now I have come up with a way to open a coal kiln in Xishan, and you all agreed at that time! Now that the coal kiln has been opened, the exploration has been completed, the silver of the Inner Mansion has been spent, and even the coal kiln has been sold, but you say so

Destroy the dragon vein of the Great Ming?!

"Do you think of the court as a place for child's play? Now that the dragon vein is damaged, why didn't you say it when many nobles opened coal kilns in Xishan before?

"Since the dragon vein is damaged, it is ill-intentioned, deliberately endangering my Daming Society, that is, there is a rebellion! If you agree with me to exterminate all the nobles and officials who opened coal kilns in Xishan, then I agree not to mention the matter of mining in the future!"

Zhu Si lost his temper in front of the minister.

This kind of gaffe has actually been shown for a long time.

The ministers were silent, and at this time there were huge waves in their hearts:

The emperor's temper is not bad, but if he was played by someone else, he would have gone crazy a long time ago, and the little emperor was still trying to reason under such a gaffe, how commendable!

Comparatively......

The civilian clique is a bit unreasonable.

You are the one who raised the trouble and asked the emperor to solve it, and now the emperor has solved the problem, but you feel that your interests have been damaged so much, and let the emperor take back his fate......

The general meaning is that we can create difficulties and let the emperor know that it is not easy for us, but the emperor, you are not qualified to solve the problem, and we can't solve this problem, and no one can solve it!

was scolded by the emperor like this, including Tong Rui and Zou Wensheng, who came forward to speak before, they all felt that they couldn't hold their face, and lowered their heads in shame.

They also feel that they may have gone too far.

Yang Tinghe behaved very calmly, and replied coldly: "Your Majesty, please put state affairs first, and don't make a big fuss." The Xishan Coal Mine should be sealed, and the auction of the coal kiln has broken the rules and regulations of the imperial court and must be stopped...... If Your Majesty has any questions, you may wish to ask the Queen Mother! ”

It's already torn in the face anyway.

Yang Tinghe said extremely simply.

No is no good!

If you don't listen, I will use the Queen Mother to press you.

Don't forget who gave you the throne!

Put you on the throne, you still kicked your nose in the face, you fought with the ministers for the matter of great etiquette, and now you don't put the courtiers in your eyes for the sake of mining, you are going to reverse God!

"Your Majesty, the old minister did not stop the imperial court from opening mines, the official mining kilns already existed, but the mining kilns cannot be sold to merchants, as for the mining kilns in Xishan...... Not a single one to stay! ”

Yang Tinghe finally said such a sentence as if he had given an ultimatum, as if the court should be decided by him, the chief assistant.

Emperor, just stand aside!
