0283 Fiefdom
After speaking, he walked towards the harem without looking back, while Zhang Jia followed at a trot. It was only then that the eunuch on duty in the main hall shouted, "Retreat!" But by the time he shouted these two words, Emperor Wanli and the two had disappeared!
Hearing the word "retreat from the dynasty", the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground one after another, but they no longer had the previous momentum, but gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the news they got today.
Zhang Juzheng and several pavilion elders were also helped up, Zhang Juzheng got up and rubbed his knees with a wry smile, he hadn't knelt for so long for a long time, he was not used to it!
At this time, Zhang Siwei had already asked someone to send the two holy decrees on the ground, and he didn't rush to read them, because Zhang Juzheng was still there, and it was not easy for him to cross over. And he instinctively felt that these two decrees were a big problem! So he immediately handed over the holy decree to Zhang Juzheng, and then said in a low voice: "Our Majesty's understanding of the government is getting deeper and deeper!" ”
Zhang Juzheng naturally understood what Zhang Siwei meant. Because although Emperor Wanli roared at the Juggernaut Society for a long time, when he left the main hall, he did not say how to deal with the Juggernaut Society, but threw down two copies of the book. This is the political exchange of slowing down the recourse to the Juggernaut in exchange for the passage of these two decrees through the cabinet resolutions!
Zhang Juzheng guessed the content with the holy decree! One must be a transcript of the establishment of the Navy and the Naval Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the other must be a reward for Liu Haojia, and there must be irregularities in it! Otherwise, according to Emperor Wanli's temper, he would definitely not choose this form of exchange to promote the decision of the cabinet!
However, Zhang Juzheng did not open the holy decree immediately, but squeezed them in his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the duty room first and then study this matter!" ”
Of course, the other cabinet elders knew that this was not a good time to discuss the script, so they naturally all nodded in agreement. After a few people came to the duty room, Zhang Juzheng opened the two books.
Sure enough, the first one was the establishment of the Navy and the Metropolitan Governor's Office. After reading it, Zhang Juzheng made a judgment in his heart, and this will should be able to pass.
Don't really think that the civil servants who support your lordship are against it. Because they also have a tacit understanding with each other. Like this time, everyone's discussion mainly stayed on the issue of rewarding Liu Haojia, and the discussion on the establishment of the navy was very flat.
The main reason for this is the establishment of the navy, and while the nobles have taken the leading positions, there is also a large number of civilian officials in it. And these positions are not taken away by the nobles. This is equivalent to expanding the sphere of influence of the nobles at the same time, but also helping the civilian officials to expand the sphere of influence, which is a matter of mutual benefit. So even if the ministers oppose it, they will eventually pass. Opposition is nothing more than a means of bargaining!
As for the reward for Liu Haojia, I really oppose it! Because Liu Haojia is too young and too good at doing things! The growth of such a noble is not good news for civil officials! Because once a plate of scattered nobles has a core, they will quickly unite and compete with civil officials for the right to speak in the court!
And Liu Haojia is young enough and the coal industry is smart enough, if he is given enough time, he is likely to become this core! That's why the civilian clique will try their best to suppress him! At this time, the civilian clique has been doing something again!
And Zhang Juzheng soon found something that many people couldn't accept in the holy decree, that is, Liu Haojia not only got the title of Wu Ningbo, but he also got a fief!
Zhang Juzheng's brows wrinkled immediately when he saw the word fiefdom! To tell the truth, he didn't care about Liu Haojia's knighthood! Every emperor always canonized some new nobles when he was alive, but most of the nobles still disappeared quietly! Just like when the Ming Dynasty was just opened, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized six princes, twenty-eight marquises, and eleven counts, and how many are left now?
But this holy decree mentions the matter of the fief, and it is a real seal, and it has been approved by Emperor Wanli, which is unusual! You must know that fiefdoms are not something that can be promised out casually!
When it comes to fiefdoms, one has to mention feudalism. In fact, many people think that before the Qing Dynasty, they all belonged to the feudal system, but in fact this is wrong! The real feudal system was before the Qin Dynasty, and since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, it has ceased to be a feudal system, and it should be called a centralized system or a monarchy!
The core of the feudal system lies in the four words "feudal statehood"! In other words, the feudal lord has absolute autonomy over his fiefdom, and it is a real country within a state! Not even the king can interfere! And this is what Europeans often say, the wind can enter my room, the rain can enter, even the dog can enter, but the king cannot enter!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an actual fief for Xungui! All those who have been entitled, although they have written a certain fief in their will, have always been falsely sealed. But this letter is not the same, not only does it have a detailed description of the location of the fief, but there is even a simple map! This made Zhang Juzheng have to think seriously about what the two of them want to do?
So while thinking about the thoughts of the two of them, he handed over the recital to the other pavilion elders to circulate it. Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear Zhang Siwei say angrily and loudly: "Give the actual fief? How is this possible, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen! ”
His shout attracted the attention of several other elders, who asked in surprise what he had seen. Zhang Siwei directly threw aside the holy decree about the navy, and loudly recited the holy decree about Liu Haojia's reward!
When he finished reading, all the elders expressed their objections, saying that they must refute this will! At this time, Zhang Siwei said to Zhang Juzheng: "Shoufu, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "Let the scribe check where this fief is first?" And then do the calculations. ”
Zhang Siwei immediately got up by himself and went outside to call the scribe to arrange the matter. If this is not possible in the past, it shows the urgency of his heart!
I don't know how long later, just when the people on duty had obviously become a little anxious, the scribe finally opened the curtain and walked in, but before he could give a salute, Zhang Siwei said: "Have you found out the whole situation of that land?" ”
Shi Li also had eyes, and seeing Zhang Siwei's eagerness to ask, he hurriedly said, "I found it!" That piece of land is in Tianjin County, by the sea. There were no villages or docks, just a clearing by the sea. If anything, it's that there's a bay in that land! ”
