Chapter 6 I'm Poor
Zhu Chenhao, who thought that the imperial city was under control, didn't know that his dream was about to be shattered, or it was shattered without warning, and he didn't even have time to react.
After the middle-aged Xiushi arrived at the main hall with a large number of forbidden troops, everyone was surrounded, and the ministers were panicked.
"The prince's edict, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, ordered the Zongren Mansion to take the custody, wait for the palace to ascend the throne, and then deal with it, and the rest of the people will take the edict and ask the guilty, and order the Jinyi Wei Mu Bin to take his three clans, and the rest of the families are small, and they will be distributed for three thousand miles, and the five generations will not be returned, and if they are not pardoned, they will take the ······."
As soon as General Liu's knife handle was lifted, it was put on King Ning's neck, and with a kick at the crook of his knee, Zhu Chen was kicked to his knees, Fan Ting said with a wicked smile; "Prince, I'm sorry, our family is the prince's person, if you want to blame it, you are all over the wine bags and rice bags, and the prince you~ Hehe, Zhida is talented, it's a pity, it's a pity, you don't do it, you want to rebel, our family admires it, take it away."
When the news came out of the palace, everyone was terrified, and when they heard that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was taken down by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and cut off all the comrades in the court, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, when everyone understood the beginning and end of this matter, how the crown prince Zhu Houzhao was sage, how he manipulated the court situation, and how he was wise and brave to take down the deeds of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and other people, all of them were spread by people with intentions, and the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and all the subjects of the world were admired.
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, on June 16, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao inherited the unification, granted amnesty to the world, and at the same time exempted the world from taxation for one year, forced labor for one year, and opened Enke once, the world's scholars did not play the crown to celebrate, long live the holy monarch, the people were even more grateful to Dade, and said excitedly that it was impossible to add, pay taxes or something, and it was good to say, exempt from forced labor for one year, this is the real good emperor, I don't know how many lives to save.
King Ning was robbed of his family and exterminated, since then King Ning has disappeared in the history of the Ming Dynasty, no one dares to say irresponsible things, those pretentious imperial historians in the past also shut up, King Ning's rebellion is conclusive, they almost all watched the traitor do this, how to refute?
The most terrifying thing is that His Majesty's mind is young, but it is impossible to figure it out, the emperor's mind was originally like this, but this, it was not like this in the past, although he loves Hulai, but there are traces to follow, and it is not enough to make them feel frightened, but now he feels deeply cold, and the mental means and courage shown by His Majesty are placed on the emperor, which is unthinkable.
"Gong Li, yesterday the old man said in vain, don't be surprised, the old man has apologized to Gong Li here." Xie Qian solemnly apologized to Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang hurriedly returned the salute and didn't dare to accept it, they have been friends for many years, Xie Qian's personality, he still knows that Xie Qian is a true gentleman, wrong is wrong, right is right, he never hides his mistakes, but his personality is a little pedantic, after all, it is not a big mistake.
"Gong Xie, Li is ashamed."
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, the three of them worshiped into the cabinet, assisted the emperor, governed the world, and had a tacit understanding, although His Majesty is young today, but he is heroic and wise, and in recent days he has watched and discussed politics, so that they are deeply admired, pleasing to the eye, and impeccable, is this the true face of His Majesty.
I remember Li Dongyang's words that day, and now I think about it, I analyze him and am convinced.
But is that really the case? Zhu Houzhao, he really doesn't plan to be a demon, he wants to hang the arch and rule the world with the scholars?
Hehe, that's impossible, if a few people live longer, if Zhu Houzhao is still the same Zhu Houzhao, they will know that they are very wrong, and when Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi ascends to the throne, it will be called a sour, and it can only be said that they are lucky.
And His Majesty the Emperor, at this moment, summoned the heroes who participated in this matter, and rewarded them heavily, by the way, to be a demon again, or a big demon.
The first emperor of Hongzhi was a thrifty person, to what extent he was thrifty, let's just say that the inner treasury is more than ten times the amount of silver in it, and I don't know how the first emperor did it, well, back to the point, after Zhu Houzhao made his family background clear, he was first happy, and then his head turned, and he couldn't be happy.
In his short life, do you have to die of old age in the palace, or can only go to Jiangnan for a wave, that is not good, Zhang Dacai, who has completely inherited the memory of this body, has also inherited Zhu Houzhao's jumping activity, even he doesn't know which one is really himself, or just a dream, but the memory of the eighth life tells him that these are true, the dullness of the previous lives, loneliness, and finally death, now it has completely changed, he is not dull and lonely, he likes to make trouble, and he likes it very much.
"Liu Jin, from today onwards, you will succeed Wang Yue and be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, as for Wang Yue, give him a python robe and order him to go to the imperial tomb to be raised."
Liu Jin was overjoyed, one step to the sky, the celebrant supervisor, hurry up and thank you, "Long live Your Majesty, the slave will definitely live up to Your Majesty's grace." ”
Zhu Houzhao was noncommittal, nodded indifferently, and then looked at Fan Ting, this traitor in history is very capable of doing things! No wonder it is said that the traitor must have his superiority, this is true, it is good to use, this is a proper backstabber.
"You're good, I said, give you a chance, you continue to be your Dongchang overseer, I hope you can do your best for me." Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth indifferently, no reward or punishment, this is the best news Fan Ting has heard.
Yes, if Zhu Houzhao really rewarded him aggressively, he would be in danger if he couldn't say it, and now it proves that His Majesty still uses him, and he can't just beat his past, as long as he does his best in the future, he doesn't have to worry about himself, "Slave maid, thank Your Majesty for your grace, long live Your Majesty, slave and maid must be loyal to their duties and live up to Your Majesty's grace." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded again, he looked at Mu Bin, at this moment Mu Bin lowered his head slightly, Zhu Houzhao got up and came to him and said; "Aiqing has worked hard."
Mu Bin hurriedly knelt down and said in a deep voice; "Weichen is a capital crime, Jinyi Wei is the lackey of the Son of Heaven, it is his duty to inspect the world, why work hard, Your Majesty is serious." He was very frightened and didn't understand what Zhu Houzhao meant.
Zhu Houzhao said; "It's because of your duty that I have worked hard to say that the world is mine, but how many civil and military ministers in the imperial court, how many people can keep this duty, and Aiqing deserves it."
His words made Liu Jin and Fan Ting beside him feel tight, duty, is Your Majesty warning himself? Do you want to do your part? made the two more cautious from then on.
"Aiqing, I hope that Jinyiwei can reproduce the scenery of the Yongle Dynasty, Aiqing may be able to do it?" Zhu Hou saw the dagger according to the picture.
Mu Bin bowed down without hesitation: "Weichen, you will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ”
"Okay, I just have something for you to do, Aiqing, do you dare?" Zhu Houzhao's impatient attitude made people scratch their heads.
Mu Bin heard this; "Your Majesty commands." There is only one emperor in his mind, and in his heart, Jinyiwei is a royal lackey, if he wants to live, he must live, and if he wants to die, he will die, and he will never frown.
Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and returned to the jade case, saying; "I have a difficulty, the treasury has no money and food, the border army is short of military salaries, even if I hollow out the internal money left by the emperor to me, it is a drop in the bucket, the day is not safe, the mausoleum of the first emperor must be repaired, the palace needs silver, and the officials also need silver, in a word, I want silver!"
Mu Bin didn't understand what it meant, and asked; "I don't know what Your Majesty needs Weichen to do?"
Liu Jin was very good at making money in his previous life, and he was already making up his mind when he heard the words, but he thought crookedly.
Fan Ting also muttered, guessed something, that is something that even the first emperor didn't dare to touch, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, is he going to do it? It is worthy of being the big head who controls the East Factory, the first thing he thinks of is the commercial tax, the former Song Dynasty is because of the commercial tax, it is called the rich Song Dynasty, although the area is not as large as the Ming Dynasty, but the wealth is dozens of times that of the Ming Dynasty, at its peak, it is the army of the third line of war, and the treasury has not been exhausted, it is the richest dynasty in history.
The Ming Dynasty does not touch the commercial tax, the peasants can have a few money, from the field to eat, not enough for their own, although the population is huge, but it is still very poor, the tax is only one million a year, deducting some seven seven eight eight losses, all year round, the balance is less than more than 100,000, in this way, it still makes Hongzhi very happy, because, there is a surplus, it means that the internal money is safe.
The mention of this matter is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and it must be a major earthquake between the government and the opposition, and if it is not said, it will cause dissatisfaction among the vested interests in the world.
Who is, naturally it is the business controlled by the nobles, and then it is the minister, the Ming court is poor, but which one of the officials is really clear-sleeved, and there are hundreds of people at every turn, or even hundreds of people to feed, where do they get the money to feed so many people.
Again, it is a big businessman, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, no profit can not be early, support poor readers, once these people are high school officials, they are their pioneers, generation after generation, deep-rooted, intertwined, devouring the vitality of the entire Ming Dynasty, the folk rich businessmen emerge in endlessly, the court of Nuoda is not as rich as the people, isn't it ridiculous?
The first emperor once tried to move, but was alienated by the imperial historian and the people, saying that he competed with the people for profit, and in the end he had no choice but to do it, and he never dared to mention it again.
Now Your Majesty has some means, but this is really untouchable, Fan Ting thought to himself, whether to try to remind him, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Zhu Houzhao's eyes, shrunk his neck in fright, and quickly shut up.
"Aiqing, I want you to secretly check the profits, shipments, purchases, and channels of all merchants in Beijing, remember that it must be carried out quietly, and you must not leak the slightest rumor, and I must know the people behind every merchant, there are those people in the court and China, you have to be detailed, Dongchang will cooperate with you to do it at this time, do you have any problems?" After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he looked at Mu Bin like this.
Fan Ting's mouth was full of bitterness, and he really couldn't escape, in case of an accident, he would definitely be a proper backstabber.
Mu Bin's eyes were unwavering and affirmed; "Wechen obeys."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, looked at Fan Ting, and warned again; "Dongchang should learn the attitude of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei is a knife, Dongchang is the eyes and ears, if this matter is not done well or leaked, you will die and apologize."
Fan Ting hurriedly bowed down and expressed his position again; "The old slave must strictly supervise the East Factory, handle this matter for His Majesty, and dare not slack off."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and they retreated, Mu Bin is just loyal, but not stupid, what does His Majesty explain involved, will he not know? It's just a pretended attitude, but at this moment, he came out and felt a sense of fright, settled down, looked at Fan Ting, who was also scared next to him, and arched his hand; "Father-in-law Fan, I hope that you and I will abandon our previous suspicions, cooperate well, and don't let down Your Majesty's trust, I will go back and announce my resignation."
After all, Mu Bin is the person left by the emperor to Zhu Houzhao, not to mention loyalty, moreover, he has also seen His Majesty's means and courage, and he is completely convinced, as for what His Majesty wants to do? That's not something he should care about, as long as he tries his best to do a good job of His Majesty's explanation, this attitude makes him very relaxed, and the day of Jin Yiwei's coming out has finally come.
