Chapter Twenty-Three: I'm counting on you
Hearing this, Zhu Di put down the book.
"I will remember your words, and if it is your recital in the future, I will read it first, and I have read the two recitals you presented a few days ago, and my thoughts are similar."
"But it's useless to only agree with me, and the elders in the cabinet also agree, and the queen mother in the inner court listens to the government and helps me run it."
"Now Wang Zhi is a scholar of Wenhua Palace, there are some things, the two of you will discuss it, if you have something, you can go to the Qianqing Palace alone to find me and talk to me."
"Thank you for your trust!"
The emperor was reassuring himself, and at the same time clarified his position in his words.
When Wang Wen heard these words, he felt a lot more relieved.
After all, the words of the trespass just now came out, and if the emperor didn't have the same heart as himself, the fate in the future was estimated to be quite miserable.
"Your Majesty..."
"In the future, you will be my right-hand man, we are together, don't forget this." Zhu Di sat up and said with a smile: "I have to abide by these red tape in the imperial court. ”
"But I want you to know that I won't be able to treat you badly in the future."
Wang Wen hurriedly said: "Long live Your Majesty, the minister must have done his best for the Ming Dynasty and died." ”
First His Majesty, then Da Ming.
This is also Wang Wen's vague expression of position.
Zhu Di understood and was very satisfied with today's conversation, and said: "Since this is the case, you should go back first, deal with the affairs of Dali Temple, and there will be other places to use you in the future." ”
"There is a lot to be done in the court, and I am counting on you now."
Wang Wen was stunned.
Does this mean that you want to promote yourself?
"Your Majesty, the minister has retired!"
Watching Wang Wen leave, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the couch.
When talking to Wenchen, every sentence must be carefully considered, these old scholars in the court, after all, are not as good as the battlefield warriors who were always by his side in the previous life.
In the past, leading troops to conquer consumed physical strength, but this kind of conversation consumed energy.
Chi'er, I don't understand you.
In today's Ming Dynasty, there is no longer the crown prince Zhu Gaochi who can solve my worries.
To such an extent as today, it is already the best effort that Zhu Di can do at present.
Like Wang Wen, one of the nine kings, Zhu Di doesn't know what other means can be won over now, the temple Wenchen is not a small soldier who is still hot-blooded, throw his head and spill his blood together, and follow you all the way to the end.
After all, there is no black and white now, only a subtle contract with them in their hearts.
......
Morning meeting.
As if to declare sovereignty, Sun Ruowei came here early this day.
Zhu Di sneered and sat in his place.
How firmly you sit now, I will let you fall as badly as I want you to do in the future!
After Sun Ruowei sat down, he looked at the ministers who bowed their heads and whispered, and he was angry.
Such a big thing as granting grace to meritorious heroes didn't even wait for the mourning family to start, do you guys want to kick the nest when you see that the son of the mourning family is gone?
Most of the ministers could guess what the angry Empress Dowager Sun was thinking, but no one stood up to ask for a guilty or anything.
Speaking of which, what does this have to do with us?
It's not that I didn't wait for you, but you slept by yourself.
It is impossible to wait for when your Queen Mother will arrive before continuing.
If you slept in Renshou Palace for a night, would the victorious soldiers have to wait until the morning to summon you?
Ridiculous!
Sun Ruowei also knew why, it was not good to take the initiative to reprimand, seeing that the ministers were looking at each other and no one stood up, she had nothing to do, so she had to give up.
"Your Majesty, Wang Wen of the Dali Temple, there is something to play!" As soon as Zhu Di sat down, he saw a person flash out of the train with lightning speed.
Sun Ruowei raised his head and saw that it was Dali Siqing who came out.
Dali Temple controls the trial of the world's prisons, Dali Temple Qing is the official position of the three products, the power is very great, the status is second only to the six books and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, the second in the nine Qing.
Therefore, he already belongs to important ministers in the court.
Such a person, whether it is Zhu Di or Sun Ruowei, is the object to be wooed.
Sun Ruowei didn't know that Zhu Di had already talked to Wang Wen, frowned, and without waiting for Zhu Di to reply, he said first: "What is the matter with Wang Qing's family, let's discuss it with the mourning family?" ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Wen didn't say anything at all.
This is also to point out the attitude of Dali Temple in public in the court, and the words of the Queen Mother are not good.
Zhu Di said: "What did Wang Aiqing do? ”
"The minister has this seconding the law of tax exemption for His Majesty!"
After Wang Wen finished speaking, he stood back, but Sun Ruo was slightly stunned.
Tax-free?
What's the point?
"How come the mourning family has never heard of tax exemption in this dynasty?" Sun Ruowei first looked at Wang Wen, but when she saw the other party, she ignored it, and then looked at Zhu Di and asked:
"Emperor, is it a good thing that you did?"
The ministers didn't expect this matter to be put on the agenda so soon.
Originally, according to the household department, the matter proposed by the emperor that night was not present without the queen mother, and it was dragged out if it could be delayed, as long as no important minister seconded it, it would pass.
But no one thought that someone would seconded the proposal so soon, and he was still one of the nine Qings.
According to the rules, it is not possible to discuss it now.
"I brought it up, the Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know how much impact the Emperor Bei Hunt will have on the people of Gyeonggi, right?" Zhu Di had already prepared his rhetoric and said bluntly:
"At present, the besieging of the Jingshi is only the one led by Ye Xian, and there are also two armies marching together, burning, killing and looting in the area of Kisuke."
"The national crisis is deep, as the Son of Heaven, I should care about my people."
At this time, the unique advantage of being an emperor was revealed.
Zhu Di proposed the measure of tax exemption, in fact, the biggest consideration is to stabilize the throne and accumulate the hearts of the people after the defeat.
But when you say it, you can use more high-sounding statements to put yourself on the moral high ground.
This is different from the "rebellion" before the "rebellion" of the army, which was said to be "difficult to be preached in the sky", but in the final analysis, it is actually the same truth, and in the end, the big fist will win anyway.
At that point, it doesn't matter what it says today.
Although the ministers were like Spiegels in their hearts, they all knew what the emperor was doing this for, but Zhu Di's statement made them have no way to refuse.
Wenchen's most important thing is nothing more than fame, the emperor wants to be exempt from taxes, and the people below will be happy to hear this news no matter what it is for.
At this time, it was rumored that a certain high-ranking official obstructed the court's tax reduction policy in the court.
What will the common people think?
Especially in places that have suffered from war, what will the people of there think?
Once it spreads ten, then ten spreads hundreds, and the reputation stinks.
Sun Ruowei also knew that he couldn't be this wicked person.
"What do you think?"
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be this wicked person.
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
Sun Ruowei's face was helpless and angry, but he was helpless.
In order to avoid long dreams at night, Zhu Di took the opportunity to say: "Since this is the case, I don't think there is any need to delegate it to the household department to discuss it again, don't the people in the household department also agree?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Wenchenzhong.
The officials of the household department peeked at Sun Ruowei, and under Zhu Di's questioning, they still couldn't help the pressure, and said in unison: "The ministers have no objections, Your Majesty is Shengming." ”
Zhu Di then looked at the cabinet and said with a smile: "A few cabinet elders, then this holy decree will be drafted by you, and it will be sent to the Qianqing Palace for approval, and I will announce it to the world!" ”
