Chapter 340: Arrest Officials and Businessmen

"You decree? What are you? Dare to issue a decree too? I have to wait until you ascend the throne and become emperor! Zhu Laosan complained unceremoniously.

But Zhu Lao Er glared at him, "Confused! If he hadn't been the emperor, how could he dare to say such big things? ”

Zhu Gaosui was taken aback, the whole person was not good, and his voice trembled: "Then, what I said just now, is it considered disrespectful?" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "No, after all, there are too many times when you go too far." ”

Zhu Gaosui opened his mouth, it was not good again.

His mind turned, and he still couldn't figure it out.

My father is in good health, and he hasn't been on the throne for a long time, so why should he abdicate? Could it be that the boss wants to launch a palace change?

So what did he call himself and his dick for?

Don't you want to kill yourself and your second brother in advance, and then imprison your father?

That is, after the Battle of Jingjing, the Ming Dynasty is going to have a Xuanwumen change?

Zhu Laosan was cranky, sweating all over his body and his heart was pounding.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu is much calmer than him.

After all, there are a bunch of businessmen behind His Royal Highness the King of Han, these people have their hands and eyes to the sky, leading the officials of the court, the eunuchs in the palace, and even the noble clan...... The power is unimaginable.

Zhu Di wants to Zen Rang, and Zhu Gaoxu knows something about this.

"Boss, I want to ask you, you said that respecting our property is your governing program?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Almost, after all, my father believes that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister...... Only when I ascend the throne will I truly elevate the status of the merchant and not take what I want. ”

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyelids, and didn't believe it so easily, but said: "Boss, what you said is inevitably a deception, who can believe what you promise?" ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled, "I will reform the official system." ”

When these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu became interested, he paused, and said in a seemingly casual tone: "How to change?" ”

"I have already calculated that I will add a trade department, a degree branch, a tax department, and the original household department...... These four parts divide the fiscal and taxation system. Commercial taxation will become the main source of the imperial court's finance and taxation, and these departments will definitely protect the merchants and will not let them go unchecked. ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, and his words moved him.

The emperor's statement is useless, even if he gives Danshu iron coupons, he should be killed or killed, which their imperial grandfather has already demonstrated.

But if there are three more ministries at once, it is bound to increase the number of officials, from top to bottom...... Millions of workers, food and clothing.

Even if you change, it will be very difficult.

This means that in the officialdom, the businessmen are protected.

"Boss, just like this, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

"I can increase the number of business schools, open business courses, encourage business developers, and formulate corresponding laws and regulations......"

"Why you?" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly interrupted and snorted: "I can also do what you said." ”

"You can't do it!" Zhu Gaochi said coldly: "Those people behind you are asking for more. They want to eat and wipe clean, and they are insatiable...... I am the only one sitting in the center, and I can balance the situation and take care of both sides. Otherwise, you won't be able to sit still. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I have so many businessmen to support me, why can't I sit on the dragon chair? ”

Zhu Gaochi said, "Do you think those businessmen are really useful?" Look at the court now, the six ministries and nine kings, so many important ministers, which of them will really do things for the merchants? ”

"I can appoint Xu Jingchang and let him take charge of the court!" Zhu Gaoxu played a trump card.

Just hearing this, Zhu Gaosui shook his head first, "Second brother, you are confused." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was surprised, why was he confused?

Zhu Gaosui trembled and said: "You think Xu Jingchang too well, that kid will definitely not take the fire for you." If he doesn't contribute, you can't stabilize the court, he contributes too much, so how good is it to be the emperor himself, why kowtow to you? ”

"You!" Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded, a frightened cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart trembled.

Zhu Gaochi can control a considerable part of the civil officials, and he is willing to lean towards businessmen, so it is naturally easy to balance the court situation.

But Zhu Gaoxu is completely behind the power of businessmen, he is bound to love businessmen more, and those ministers will not believe him...... The gap between the two is obvious.

As for Xu Jingchang, he does have the power to turn the tide of the dynasty, but the question is who can be sure that he will definitely be on his side...... This kid has too many fancy intestines, and his brothers have all suffered losses from Xu Jingchang!

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized one more thing...... Why did Zhu Di choose to Zen at this time?

The main Zhu Di is still there, and the Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos, but if Zhu Di dies and Zhu Gaochi succeeds to the throne, it is difficult to say whether he can sit firmly on the dragon chair.

Zhu Gaoxu's strength is too great, and Xu Jingchang is even more unfathomable...... And so many tyrants.

Having come this far, if you want to pass it on smoothly...... There is only one way left, which is to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, raise a big prison, and eradicate all the people in the court, all the people who are in the way.

Zhu Gaoxu paused, looked at his eldest brother, and suddenly sighed, "Boss, if the queen mother can live a few more years, it would be great!" ”

Zhu Gao's face was tense, and his heart was surging.

What kind of character his father is, he knows too well.

If there was no Empress Xu staring, no one knew what Zhu Di would do impulsively...... As juniors, they can't persuade even if they want to.

This is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma left early, and Lao Zhu set off the prison and was unscrupulous. Even Lao Zhu himself admits that sometimes the killing is too heavy.

But if you kill, you will kill, can you still make the Son of Heaven admit his mistake?

Zhu Di's choice of Zen at this time was the result of careful consideration...... For Zhu Di himself, he can avoid killing courtiers because of suspicion and panic, and he can also put the rest of his energy on external management.

It's a double win.

And Zhu Gaochi can also succeed to the throne early, relying on the prestige of his father to ensure the stability of the court, and according to his ideas, reform the government.

For Zhu Gaoxu and others, although they lost the opportunity to compete for the throne, setting the overall situation early is also a protection, so as not to fall too deep into it and never recover.

For Daming, this is also a critical moment for turning into a butterfly, and Zhu Gaochi presiding over the court seems to be much better than Zhu Di.

All in all, it's a good thing for all parties.

"The second and third, now that the matter is over, you still don't fight, otherwise, there are some things that you can't bear!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, staring at the boss, eager to crush this guy.

As long as there are another three or five years, the power he has accumulated can change the situation of the dynasty, and at that time, no one will be able to stop him from taking the throne.

At that time, even if his father was unwilling, he still had the ability to compete for the position of prince.

But now I can only watch the boss become the Ninety-Five Supreme...... He said goodbye to the throne forever, and he was unwilling!

And Zhu Gaosui, this guy blinked his eyes, and he saw it, he really saw it.

The boss and the second dragon are fighting, he can have a chance, and now that the two of them don't make trouble, he won't have a chance. It's just that the boss can protect his property, which is also a good thing.

"Second brother, or you just listen to the eldest brother! The eldest brother has always been very kind, and it is good for our brothers, the eldest brother is the lord of destiny! ”

"Humph!" Zhu Gaoxu said hatefully: "You are just a wall grass, if you touch your crotch, is it already smoothed?" ”

Zhu Gaosui didn't like to listen to it anymore, "Second brother, you'd better not be so excessive...... Don't let me know what your men have done. The thing about impeaching my cousin, that's what they did! ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Gaochu was shocked, and Zhu Gaochi was also dumbfounded...... Empress Xu was sick, and someone took the opportunity to impeach Xu Jingchang, but it was Zhu Gaoxu's people behind this?

"Second brother, are you so despicable?"

"You talk nonsense!" Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Boss, don't spew blood. I had no idea how I could possibly plot against my cousin...... How careful he is, you don't know, didn't I dig a hole for myself? ”

The three brothers of the Zhu family, look at me, I look at you...... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped his thigh, "I know, this matter is either nonsense, or someone is carrying me behind my back and wants to fish in troubled waters." ”

Zhu Gaosui snorted: "You can check casually, if I lie, you can settle accounts with me." ”

Zhu Gaochi quickly calmed down, "Second brother, this matter is very clear, and you are not a foolish person." You think you have a lot of power, but these people don't necessarily listen to you. You think you can wrestle with me, and you don't have the ability! So...... Second, admit defeat, don't make trouble, why harm others and yourself! ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed color, and the whole person was not good.

As the leader of a force, the most taboo thing is for the people below to go alone and not listen to the command.

If this is true, it will be a catastrophe for him.

is restless in his own backyard, why should he fight with the boss?

"I, I'm leaving."

Zhu Gaoxu left in a hurry and went directly to find Xu Jingchang.

"Cousin, what the hell is going on with those people who impeached you last time?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I don't care about Jinyiwei for a long time, how can I know about this kind of thing!" ”

"Don't play dumb." Zhu Gaoxu said: "There are too few things you don't know these years, I just want to know, how many traitors are there in my Yixin Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This matter depends on how you define it." ”

"How to define it? It's just going behind my back, hooking up with other people, seeking personal gain, and having ill intentions, how many such people are there? ”

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he turned around, flipped through a pile of official documents for a long time, took out a long list, and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu.

"This is only a small part of it, and the entire list is in the Jinyi Wei secret file."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at these dozens of lists, and only felt that his head was buzzing.

What do you mean?

Are all your men traitors?

All the staff are small?

"It can't be! You lied to me! ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "King Han, you are underestimating my ability, after all, I have also invested in your industry, I know what you are doing...... Do you say those people only listen to you, or do they step on two boats? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment.

Xu Jingchang continued to laugh and said: "Your Chamber of Commerce gathers people's hearts with the benefits of wealth and goods, as long as someone can come up with more, they will naturally fight back." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a long time, and he seemed to think of something.

"Xu Jingchang, I, I listened to your advice before I started doing business...... You, you calculated me from the beginning! You, you're scheming, you're so hateful! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, don't complain, even if you don't have my involvement, you can't fight others." Forget it, I'm merciful enough to let you watch a good show. ”

"Fun? What's the show? ”

"Naturally, it is to arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials and eradicate those scum who collude with businessmen...... By the way, your Single-minded Chamber of Commerce also has someone in it. ”

Xu Jingchang said unhurriedly, almost at the same time, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and Huang Guan, these three had already begun to give orders, and from top to bottom, the arrest operation began......
