Chapter 625: Who Wins and Who Loses Is Not Certain
@@朱浩进入乾清宫时, Zhu Si was lying on the desk, supporting his head with his hands, and the whole person was depressed.
Tang Yin and Huang Jin stood aside, and they didn't know how to persuade them, so the monarchs and ministers were so quiet and opposed, and they were speechless to each other.
"Zhu Hao, you're here."
When Zhu Si saw Zhu Hao enter the door, he didn't feel much better, and he didn't even sit up straight.
Zhu Hao arched his hand: "Minister Zhu Hao, see Your Majesty."
"Alright."
Zhu Sidao: "I heard Mr. Tang say that you expected that you might encounter today's situation, but you didn't tell me in advance...... Actually, you don't have to hide it, I already know the urine nature of these ministers, and I don't think it's strange what they do."
Between the words, Zhu Si was not as angry and frustrated as before, as if he had "seen away".
Zhu Hao said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won a great victory."
"Huh?"
Several people present looked at Zhu Hao with puzzled eyes.
Zhu Si also sat up straight, looking at Zhu Hao with monster-like eyes, revealing an inexplicable expectation in his eyes.
Zhang Zuo asked, "Mr. Zhu, what the hell is going on?"
Zhu Hao said: "Judging from the results, it seems that we have failed, and the Xishan mine opening and coal mine auction that we promoted before are gone, which is equivalent to saying that we were completely stopped by Yang Ge Lao, but from the height of the overall situation, Your Majesty has won the hearts of the people and grasped the initiative."
Zhu Si originally had high expectations, but he couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this: "What kind of heart, I'm not rare. I want money!"
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Father-in-law Zhang, didn't you mention to me on the way about Yang Ge Lao after the dispersal of the dynasty?" You might as well tell Your Majesty."
"Huh?"
Zhang Zuo was stunned at first, then thought of something, and said to Zhu Si respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's like this, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Ge Lao walked out of the main hall, and he almost didn't fall and fainted, but except for a few people in the cabinet who stepped forward to help each other, everyone else watched coldly when they saw it, and none of them went to talk about it."
Zhu Si asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
Tang Yin heard some clues, and there was a little more brilliance in his eyes: "Your Majesty, in fact, Yang Ge Lao himself thinks that he has failed."
Zhu Sidao: "He failed? It's clear that I've been restricted, but that's still called failure?"
Zhu Hao said earnestly: "Your Majesty, about the affairs of the court, Gonggong Zhang has already made it clear to his ministers. The meaning expressed by Elder Yang Ge at the court meeting is that the affairs of the court and the central government cannot be decided by His Majesty alone, and the monarchs and ministers need to work together...... But what he did was exactly the opposite of that!"
"I...... I don't understand."
Zhu Si continued to shake his head.
Zhu Hao said: "Elder Yang Ge used an extreme way to prevent His Majesty from opening mines and auctioning coal kilns in Xishan, how could he have thought that how many nobles and officials are mining in Xishan now? How much is at stake behind it? Did he say that he could seal it? How can the nobles and the officials whose interests have been damaged tolerate him?"
"And before, it was he who advocated the opening of the kiln, and even the auction of the coal kiln was proposed by him, but now he stopped it and changed the decree every day, not because this move damaged the interests of the imperial court, but on the contrary, the imperial court made a lot of profits because of it, but it just made him lose face for the first auxiliary scholar. These things, Shengdou Xiaomin may not understand, but ...... Can't the Minister of Chinese Wu understand it?"
"As a scholar of the Shoufu University, he does not put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first, but he gives priority to how to limit the power of the monarch, thinks about how to ensure the authority of civil officials, and does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the nobles and the Ming Treasury, and even the Jin merchants who support him behind him are pitted! Not to mention that he openly bullied the king at the court meeting......
"With all these things here, how can he Yang Ge still be an example of Wenchen? The minister's indifference to him shows how disappointed the ministers are in their hearts!"
Originally, Zhu Si was depressed, so he sent to say another word about picking a child in the court in the next day.
But after listening to Zhu Hao's analysis, he suddenly became enlightened.
Zhang Zuoxian didn't understand it or not, and hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu is right, today's ...... The old man Yang Ge lost his heart. He's the one who lost."
Zhu Si was anxious: "Zhu Hao, even if he really loses the hearts of the people, we haven't won
Ah, the silver hasn't been brought back, isn't there no Xishan Coal Mine?"
Zhu Hao smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty, how long have we been operating in Xishan? A few years ago, I went to Xishan for a walk, and then Mr. Tang went again, and it has only been a little more than a month now, and I claim that I have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, but in fact, all the expenses add up to 1,000 taels of silver."
"On the other hand, the powerful people in the DPRK and China have been operating in Xishan for decades and have huge benefits...... Take the Zhang family's relatives as an example, if the coal mine cannot continue to operate, then the auctioned silver will have to be returned, and they can afford the loss of more than 80,000 taels of silver?"
"This ......"
Zhu Si pondered for a moment, as if this was the case.
At the beginning, Zhu Hao ran alone, and for him, there was no loss at all.
Then Zhu Si thought of something: "But there are still more than 100,000 taels of income from the sale of coal mines, listen to what you mean, should we also return it?"
Zhu Hao said: "That silver was originally given to His Majesty by the southern merchants, even if we change places to open mines, they will still give the silver, or in the future, when there is no opposition from the DPRK and China, we will open the mine again, and we will get the same, or even more."
"What we have to do is to make the levy of mining tax a law, so that the people know that the imperial court has such a move, and when Yang Ge Lao Zhishi returns to his hometown in the future, or he wants to open it and no longer oppose it, then we can quickly promote it throughout the country......
Hearing this, Zhu Si's face finally stretched a lot.
Even Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin admired Zhu Hao's ability to persuade people, and it was really reasonable, and his words made people happy and convinced.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Besides, even if the coal mine in Xishan wants to be sealed, Yang Ge Lao may not be able to seal it."
"Bang!"
When Zhu Si heard this, he jumped up excitedly and slapped the table: "Just say that you still have a back hand, you say quickly, is there any way to cure him?"
Zhu Hao said: "It's very simple, let's talk about the relatives of the Zhang family, will they allow themselves to suffer huge losses? Yang Ge Lao mentioned that the Queen Mother should judge and make decisions, but in the matter of mining the Mother, did the Queen Mother stand on the righteousness of the so-called damage to the dragon vein, or on the damage to the interests of her mother's family? As long as the Zhang brothers enter the palace and cry, the Queen Mother will definitely stand by His Majesty's side."
"In addition, there are so many lords in the DPRK and China who are mining in Xishan, who will they support?"
Zhu Si suddenly smiled: "That means that I seem to have lost for the time being, but in fact I have won, because the Manchu Dynasty is on my side?"
Zhu Hao nodded: "After this incident, the suspicion of the monarch and the ministers is already there, and the nobles of the court and the central government will stand up to play a round, and when the queen mother comes forward, she will definitely make peace between the two sides." At that point, it is estimated that each will have to take a step back......
"What do you mean? Why take a step back?"
Zhu Siyi was immediately unhappy when he heard that he was going to retreat.
Zhu Hao said: "In fact, the so-called step back is that we no longer insist on auctioning off the coal mine, and Yang Ge Lao agreed to continue to open the mine in Xishan, so that our plan to build an official kiln in Xishan can still be promoted. Private capital seems to be inaccessible, but we can secretly absorb the silver of the merchants to open the mine and share part of the profits to them......
"Just because we don't auction off coal mines doesn't mean we can't continue to work with businessmen in private. As long as there is nothing to do on the surface, then even if Elder Yang Ge knows the inside story, he can only turn a blind eye."
"The final result is that although Elder Yang Ge used extreme methods to contain His Majesty, in the end, he did not achieve any goal, but instead betrayed his relatives...... This is the fundamental reason why we have won a great victory."
When Zhu Si heard this, he walked out from behind the table, strode in front of Zhu Hao, and grabbed Zhu Hao's arm, looking very excited.
Zhu Si looked at Zhu Hao with blank eyes: "I said that I can't do without you, and I have to rely on you for anything in the future in the court!" You were sent from above to help me achieve great things...... Zhu Hao, after the surname Yang retires, I will make you a scholar of the first auxiliary university!"
is so polite, the people next to him are extremely envious.
Zhu Hao hurriedly said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the minister is just doing his duty conscientiously, and he does not have the idea of coveting power."
Zhu Sidao: "Don't say this kind of thing, you don't have power, how can you do things? Now the power is in someone else's
Body, you see that I am boring as an emperor! This position of power must be in the hands of your own people!"
"I can also see that you don't have much idea about fame and fortune, you just do things according to your own ideas, and I support you!"
Zhang Zuo smiled complimentarily on the side: "Your Majesty has such a talent as Mr. Zhu, it seems that Ming Zhongxing is promising."
Zhu Si scolded, "Can you speak? What is ZTE Hope? I want to be a famous king through the ages, if I just be a lord of Zhongxing, then it is a shame! But now I still want to think about how to deal with the surname Yang, especially like Zhu Hao said...... Let Old Man Yang eat deflated in the matter of opening a mine in Xishan!"
Zhu Hao said: "So you need to inform the Queen Mother of the news as soon as possible. According to the minister's estimate, today's Imperial Historian's participation in the impeachment of Yang Ge's old bullying and abuse of power will soon be sent to the General Administration......
……
……
Inside the Inju Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang listened to the report, and her face was very ugly.
"Isn't it just a mine? is good, how can it get to the point of disharmony between the monarch and the minister? Yang Zhongtang too, the coal mine in Xishan has always been open, and it has not affected the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty, why did the emperor say that he wanted to open the mine, and he would not let go?"
Although Empress Dowager Zhang has little insight into major matters, there is one thing she has always carried out.
That's the short-term protection.
The benevolence of the woman, she doesn't care whether the interests of the court are damaged or not, as if she doesn't have the ability, but this incident has damaged her two younger brothers, but it is real.
Previously, the Zhang brothers had sent someone to appeal to the Empress Dowager Zhang, asking her sister to call the shots, she was very unhappy, and now she heard that Yang Tinghe was openly bullying the monarch in the court, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
Could it be that you, Yang Tinghe, want to learn from that Huo Guang and openly do the thing of abolition? Where did you leave me, the queen mother?
Huang Jin knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty's intention is to let the ministers of the DPRK and China come forward to ease the relationship between the monarch and the minister, so as to ensure the stability of the Ming Society."
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "There is no need for ministers, the mourning family can come forward. Isn't it just the mining in the West Mountain? The mourners agreed! Find someone to go to Yangge's old mansion to spread the word, and say that the mining in Xishan has existed for decades, why is it abolished in vain today? Wouldn't this affect the people of the capital to live and work in peace and contentment?"
"If he can't think of it, he can go to the palace, see him at the mourning family, and talk to him well. By the way, the mourning family called the emperor over and made it clear to his face......
