0284 Cabinet discussions

After Shi Li finished speaking, he handed over a piece of paper that he was holding in both hands. Zhang Siwei took it and looked at it carefully, and found that it was exactly the same as what was said in the notebook. However, he did not relax, but turned around and handed the note to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Shoufu, the specific situation has come out, you can take a look." ”

Zhang Juzheng took the note, and after reading it, he was even more puzzled! If Emperor Wanli really wanted to give Liu Haojia a fief, how could he also give a piece of fertile land, at least a small village on it could collect some taxes back, but what is this barren beach? And the area is not large!

Zhang Siwei saw that Zhang Juzheng had finished reading the content of the note, so he said eagerly: "Shoufu, this matter can't be allowed to happen!" We should immediately ask Your Majesty to make it clear to him! His Majesty is still young, he doesn't know the severity, he doesn't know that there are some things that can't be done! ”

Zhang Juzheng put the note in his hand on the table, stared at Zhang Siwei's eyes and said, "Fengpan, do you really think that Your Majesty is young and doesn't know the severity?" ”

Zhang Siwei's eyes flickered, and then he nodded firmly and said, "Yes, that's what I think!" He doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, so we have to make it clear to Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Juzheng snorted disdainfully in his heart! He knew that Zhang Siwei had always coveted the position of the first assistant, but he didn't have the ability to climb up! Now he is in a hurry to trigger a conflict between himself and Emperor Wanli, how can it be so easy!

So he laughed twice and said: "Feng Pan, when you were in the main hall just now, you also said that Your Majesty is becoming more and more familiar with the government and politics, why is he now an ignorant child again?" ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Zhang Siwei's face, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Everyone, let's study today's matter together!" First of all, the script for the establishment of the navy, no matter who put forward this proposal, but it is also good for civil and military officials and the imperial court, so I think it should be okay to pass this script, what do you think? ”

The other pavilion elders were no longer thinking about this notebook at this time, so they nodded in agreement. This means that the decree has been passed once and for all.

Then Zhang Juzheng picked up another holy decree and said: "This decree is very headache!" Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a real seal! ”

Wang Xijue echoed and said, "That's true! Da Yuan had a fief when he was there, but it was also because Da Yuan had insufficient officials and a vast territory, so he could only adopt this method! ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "That's right, there is no such precedent in Daqing!" But is this matter worth it for us to let our colleagues be mutilated and the East Factory revived? ”

Several pavilion elders, including Zhang Siwei, heard his words, and their faces were gloomy! Because they all understood Zhang Juzheng's subtext, that is, the situation they are facing now is very delicate!

First of all, the people who dominate the society are also in the civil and official line, and there are many people who can do things, and more of them are intertwined relationships! What kind of fellow villagers, the same family, the same family and the like are criss-crossed, which is also the reason why several generations of imperial courts have not been ruthless to them! After all, they are all their own people, so why be in a hurry!

But today, in the early dynasty, Emperor Wanli lost his temper and directly characterized the Juggernaut as a secret with a bad heart, but he did not announce how to hunt it down, this is a political exchange! That is to say, if you pass these two copies of my work, I will let them go for the time being!

But there is a more pressing problem in this deal, and that is the East Factory! With the opportunity to hunt down the Juggernaut some time ago, the East Factory is now active! If this decree is not passed, they dare to guarantee that the order to hunt down the Juggernaut will be issued immediately, and it must be Dongchang who will carry out this order!

And Dongchang will definitely take this opportunity to grow stronger again, monitor the imperial court, and control hundreds of officials! At that time, there will be another tightening spell on the heads of many officials! And that's exactly what they don't want to see!

You must know that after the civil officials brainwashed the emperors of the past dynasties and insisted on incomprehensible suppression, they finally took Dongchang off their heads, how could everyone hope that this mountain would fly over again and press on top of their heads!

But if the will of this reward is passed, then it is foreseeable that after the rules of the imperial court collapse, there will definitely be people who will use this as a precedent to ask for more fiefs.

At the same time, Liu Haojia will become famous among the nobles! After all, he is the first nobleman to have an actual fiefdom, which will attract more nobles' attention and followers! Especially among the younger generation, a new core will soon be formed around him, which is also something that civil officials do not want to see! So now for the Cabinet, it's a matter of choosing the lesser of two powers!

Under Zhang Juzheng's prompting, several pavilion elders also realized this problem, so the silence in the room was terrible for a while!

After a long time, Zhang Siwei squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth and said: "We must not let Dongchang rise again!" ”

What he meant by this was to acquiesce in Liu Haojia's reward in exchange for the suppression of Dongchang! After all, Liu Haojia's threat and influence will still take a long time to manifest, but the threat of Dongchang is imminent!

What's more, Dongchang is a yamen, an organized group, and can play a much greater role than a noble individual! Therefore, the civilian clique is absolutely unwilling to hang another sharp knife on its head!

After Zhang Siwei's words were finished, several other pavilion elders were also a little moved, obviously wanting to echo this opinion. But Zhang Juzheng said: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, we have to think about what use this fief Liu Haojia can hold in his hands?" Only when we have a clear study can we do it in a targeted manner! ”

When they heard this, they retracted their thoughts and began to recall the letter of the law they had read. Shen Shixing, out of prudence, even rang the bell to call the scribes, ready to ask them to send some books on the laws of the fiefdom.

But as soon as the bell stopped, Zhang Siwei said, "Will he be stationed?" ”

Wang Xijue said with a smile when he heard this: "The radius is less than thirty miles, even if he is full of soldiers, how many people can there be?" ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, which made the atmosphere relax a lot. However, this also shows that the civilian officials are wary of the martial arts.

At this time, the scribe walked in, and Shen Shixing sent him out after giving some orders, and then he said, "It is impossible to grow grain!" I've never heard of a land near the sea that grows food! It's all sandy land, right? ”
