Chapter 7: Blood Splattered at the Grand Palace

"Where is the Jinyi Guard?"

With a shout.

The two brocade guards outside the temple gate walked in murderously.

Very good!

This shows that the reuse of Xu Xianchun just now has played a role.

The members of the Brocade Guard have learned to follow the instructions of their own Banner Lord.

Brush!!

The embroidered spring knife is out of the sheath, and it stands majestically around Huang Liji.

"Drag it out of the noon gate, slash!"

The son-in-law was angry, and the blood stained the court.

At this time, Qian Qianyi's bones were not cold, and Yang Guanglu was directly hammered to death.

When he arrived, Huang Liji was dragged out of the hall by the guards with knives.

Until all the noise is getting farther and farther away, and disappears.

Zhou Xiancai waved his hand and motioned to Cao Zhengchun to arrange for the father-in-law in office to throw Qian Qianyi outside the Taihe Palace.

Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back and sat down on the seat on the left side of the faucet.

Looking at it, every move of the ministers has been fully watched by him.

Zhou Xian said again: "The three people are morally corrupt, there is no one in their eyes, and they are innocent of death." ”

"In addition, they must tattoo the members of their three clans and send them to the Xuanfu Garrison!"

The ministers trembled.

Complaining.

In today's court, who would dare to disobey this concubine?

Although he is a foreign minister, he is also the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that......

What the ministers didn't understand was that Zhou Xian, this guy, was gentle on weekdays.

Often shows people with a smiling face.

How can it be like a different person today.

However, today Zhou Xian beheaded a eunuch.

This seems to have drawn a line with the eunuchs.

In fact, this is what the Donglin Party people are most happy to see.

Because they are now most afraid of Zhou Xian's reactivation of the eunuch party?

Set up another Wei Zhongxian to come out and scourge them Donglin people.

But after thinking about it, isn't Zhou Xian in front of him Wei Zhongxian's second?

In minutes, he looked at the two Donglin parties.

When Wei Zhongxian was at his peak, he didn't dare to do this.

At this time, the civilian clique was horrified and jealous.

And those who were already at odds with Qian Qianyi were secretly happy.

However, they will also act with the Donglin Party in the future.

That is to jointly write to Emperor Chongzhen and impeach Zhou Xian.

Just pull Zhou Xian down from that position.

Then they can do whatever they want in the future.

Scattered Dynasty?

No.

Zhou Xian has more important things to do today.

Murder is just an opening statement.

"Cao Zhengchun."

"The minions are here."

Zhou Xian paused and said: "From now on, you will be the official of Xichang Factory, and you will be given the important task of supervising the internal affairs office, and you will have the same power as Wei Zhongxian." ”

Cao Zhengchun was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing to elevate his status.

Cao Zhengchun had long coveted Wei Zhongxian's vacancy.

But what Zhou Xian said made him shudder.

Directly came the sentence 'with Wei Zhongxian'!

Isn't this to set yourself up and roast on the fire?

At this time, the Donglin Party also felt that Zhou Xian was going to take the eunuchs.

But Zhou Xian said: "Cao Zhengchun, what are you stunned about? ”

"Minion ......"

"Gonggong Cao doesn't need to be afraid, although Wei Zhongxian is cruel and unkind, he is loyal to His Majesty."

"Today, I gave Wei Zhongxian the nickname 'Fierce Marquis' to promote his vicious and hateful nature."

Zhou Xian's words, everyone was stunned again.

What does this colt want to do?

Does he want to rebel?

Wei Zhongxian was brought down by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen.

Now he is taking advantage of the emperor's absence, to re-erect Wei Zhongxian's archway?

Isn't this a blatant obstruction to Your Majesty?

The civil servants looked at each other, their little eyes communicating quickly.

That's it.

They've found the important subject matter.

With Zhou Xian's giving Wei Zhongxian a number, he made a small report to Emperor Chongzhen.

borrowed Zhu Youzhen's hand and destroyed the horse.

In fact, Zhou Xian just wanted to mention Wei Zhongxian.

lest the Donglin Party forget the pain when the scars are healed.

And put a shackle on their heads.

Let them understand that the status of the eunuch party has risen, and they can compete with the Donglin people again.

This is the balance of power.

It is also the way to borrow the power of the emperor's power.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian in history has a mixed reputation, and his merits and demerits are resisting.

During his tenure in charge of the Ming Dynasty, he was quite reliable.

First of all, when Jiannu went south, Wei Zhongxian boldly snatched the right to trade war horses in the Forbidden City from the hands of the Donglin Party, and then sold it directly to Jiliao.

Compared with those Donglin Party members who eat people and don't spit out bones, Wei Zhongxian obviously understands the general situation.

Knowing the priorities of things can also tell the difference between right and wrong.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian recommended many border army generals.

But he didn't command it remotely.

He knew that he didn't understand military politics, so he wouldn't pretend to be a military expert.

As for these two advantages of Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin beasts above the court will not be able to learn it in their lives!

And what really caused damage to the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was actually Sun Chengzong, who won a good reputation.

Because of his Liaoxi fortress and the reorganization of the Liao army, it has gone through many years.

The effect is similar to that of the Maginot Line.

It almost drained the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, it still failed to avoid the fiasco of Liuhe.

His wear and tear is many grades higher than Wei Zhongxian's corrupt silver taels.

Therefore, the Duke of Wei Chang, who was collectively sprayed by the civil officials, is a rare person in the Ming Dynasty who understands.

Now Zhou Xian reuses Cao Zhengchun.

It shows his attitude even more.

After Cao Zhengchun received the order, he waited by Zhou Xian's side with a thousand thanks.

Then, according to Zhou Xian's matters with his ward in advance, the next process began.

I saw Cao Zhengchun walk to the front of the hall, pick up the holy decree on the table, and read it out in public: "Lonely inherit the emperor's grace, refresh the government, when I was lonely, I heard that the prehistoric sage emperor ruled the world, and today he followed Yu Shun and exempted from agricultural endowments." ”

"From now on, the Tax Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Imperial Court will be abolished, and all the original officials will be dismissed, and the re-assessment will be transferred to the civil administration."

"This edict is a thousand-year-old blood edict, and the Ming monarch cannot change it."

"Chin this."

Cao Zhengchun closed the holy decree and retreated.

The civil servants in the hall were completely stunned.

Exempting people from taxation is really a saint's act, if there is no open heart and the great power of fraternity.

It is impossible to give such a big profit to the people.

Can he be loved??

The ministers had great doubts about Zhou Xian's son-in-law.

Some people also think that Zhou Xian is a layman leading an insider.

In ancient times, the main source of state revenue was agricultural taxes.

Agricultural taxes include 'land tax', 'poll tax', 'planting tax', 'sickle tax', 'water conservancy tax', etc......

It basically accounts for 70% of the Ming treasury.

This year, due to the famine, many fields have been deserted.

So this year's tax revenue is even cooler than in previous years.

Daming has run out of money in the treasury.

No matter how tax-free it is, isn't this just a broken jar?

However, today's Zhou Xian can plan a lot of ways to make money.

As a traverser, he knows better than anyone who the money is on.

Speaking of money.

Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was the richest empire in the world.

According to historical records, from the beginning of the Wanli Emperor to the Chongzhen period, 85% of the world's silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty.
