Chapter 35: A Talent Indeed
For the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Li really doesn't know much.
However, he can be sure: Zhu Youzhen solved Wei Zhongxian two months after he ascended the throne!
And at this time, the end of the year is approaching!
It's been more than three months, and Wei Zhongxian is still alive!
Could it be that history is wrong?
Could it be that because of his arrival, history has changed?
Or perhaps, this is another Ming Dynasty that is different from history?
If you want to kill Wei Zhongxian, Wang Li is really a little reluctant!
This guy can help himself pay his bills, help himself run errands, and help himself block guns!
So cute, how can you kill him?
Needless to say, the gossip in the palace must have been made by the person next to him!
Chen Derun's following offenses should be a coincidence.
However, this guy is one of Wei Zhongxian's righteous sons!
What is certain is that because of this incident, Zhu Youzhen will hate him even more!
So......
"Father-in-law Wei, your son is really a cheat! If this kind of thing happens at this time, who would dare to protect him? ”
"Since the Long Live Lord handed it over to you, then don't try it any more, just cut it quickly!"
Scold!
That's what Wang Li was waiting for!
This guy dares to offend Empress Zhang, a proper capital crime!
In order to make Zhang Yan more comfortable in the palace, in order for her to no longer be bullied, Chen Derun must die!
I thought that Wei Zhongxian would help him intercede, but he didn't expect that his "car guard" did not hesitate!
In this way, there will be no grudges between himself and Wei Zhongxian!
That's right, that's how it should be!
Harmony makes money!
"By the way, Grandpa Wei, where did you recruit more than 20,000 people in your East Factory? How can there be so many helpers around you? ”
"It's simple, because I'm illiterate!"
After a bowl of wine, Wei Zhongxian stared at Wang Li in a daze: "In my eyes, as long as you are literate, you are talents!" This Ming Dynasty is full of talents! ”
"Makes sense!"
Wang Li gave a thumbs up.
When you think about it, this may seem ridiculous, but it's not wrong!
As long as people are stronger than themselves, they are all talents!
Nima, I can't argue with that!
At this moment, what Wang Li wants is not a literate talent, but a real killer!
At least like Song Zhe, ambush dozens of people, and he can still escape unscathed!
However, almost all of these talents have been Jinyiwei, and almost all of them have been snatched away by Dongchang!
Let Wei Zhongxian share a part, he will definitely not be happy!
Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to use it!
So, where to find such talents?
That's right, why did you forget Chen Wangting?
Because of his troubles, there will be no more martial champions this time!
Zhu Kezhen in the other group, I heard that she is also a hard hand!
Well, that's it!
Wang Li got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Zhongxian.
"Princess, can you use your retreat as a strategy?"
"Yes! A must-have! Chen Derun, that guy is really cheating!
If Long Live Lord is more serious, if there is an impeachment of the official, it will be difficult for you to get out of the way!
Therefore, you immediately resign on the grounds of "poor discipline" to dispel the anger of the Long Live Lord!
But don't worry, Long Live Lord will never touch you! ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and Wang Li continued: "Don't think that Long Live Lord is a fool! Gossip in the palace, he knows who is doing the obstruction!
For the sake of safety, after your resignation is rejected, Madame Bongsheng will also hand in her resignation!
If, let Long Live find out the truth about Empress Zhang's miscarriage, everything will be too late! ”
"Oh? This thing...... You know? ”
"On the night of the queen's miscarriage, I guessed that it was you!"
Wang Li smiled mysteriously, making Wei Zhongxian sweat profusely.
In fact, Wang Li also determined later that the queen who had a miscarriage due to massage in history was Zhang Yan!
If it wasn't Wei Zhongxian's ghost, the ghost would believe it!
"Princess, you helped me again! I, Wei Zhongxian, will never be disappointed! Wei Zhongxian slapped the wine bowl heavily and turned his heart sideways: "I'm going to ask for my resignation from the Lord Banzai!" ”
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's appearance, Wang Li smiled bitterly.
Alas!
Can your IQ also tilt the power of the opposition?
It can only be said that it is current events that have created a traitorous male!
Only the illiterate carpenter emperor can give you a chance!
If you had been another emperor, you would have died a thousand times!
……
Back at Lingji Palace, Gao Qiqian immediately greeted him.
"Princess-in-law, did you go to Dongchang?"
"What? No way? Are you stalking me? ”
"Uh...... Don't dare, don't dare! Because...... The prince was waiting for you, and I couldn't find you anywhere, so when I inquired, I heard that you went to Dongchang......"
"Chen Derun is Wei Zhongxian's righteous son! Before beheading him, the factory had something to ask Wei Zhongxian! So ......"
"Understood...... Understand ......"
"The following crimes are not punishable! This person does not have to be tried again! Tomorrow at noon, the vegetable market will be beheaded for public display! I'll leave this matter to you! ”
"No!"
Gao Qiqian left respectfully, but Wang Li was puzzled: Wang Chengen, what is he doing here?
If you say that Zhu Youzhen really trusts people, in addition to Wang Chengen, there is only Cao Huachun!
In fact, yesterday, after Wang Li left the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen discussed for a long time, but they never understood the reason, so they came rashly.
As soon as they met, Wang Chengen got straight to the point: "Princess, long live the matter of the Lord wanting to levy business taxes, what is your opinion?" ”
"Oh? Long live the Lord still wants to levy a business tax? Will the ministers of the court and China agree? ”
Wang Li asked knowingly, Wang Chengen was not angry, and was straightforward: "Anything, as long as someone does it, Long Live Lord can make an order!" ”
"I've been in the palace for less than four months, and I don't know a lot of things, so I don't dare to talk to the Lord of Long Live indiscriminately! Or...... You go and ask Wei Zhongxian? ”
Wang Li played Tai Chi and pushed the matter to Wei Zhongxian, which was completely beyond Wang Chengen's expectations.
As he said, no matter what, as long as someone is willing to do it, Zhu Youzhen is not afraid of the opposition of the ministers!
Otherwise, even if Zhu Youzhen forcibly gave the order, the people below would disobey the yin!
Unexpectedly, when it came to this, Wang Li was still not interested!
In this way, how to provoke the contradiction between the east and west factories?
"Princess, long live the Lord has always regarded you as a good person for governing the country, carefully cultivated you, and entrusted you with important tasks! I didn't expect you to be so disappointing! ”
Wang Chengen got up and wanted to leave, but Wang Li smiled:
"Princess, you're right, someone needs to do everything! However, it is not a question of "whether you want to", but "whether you can do it well"! ”
Hearing this, Wang Chengen sat down and pondered Wang Li's words.
In fact, what Zhu Youjian wants is "not to do a good job", but to "someone to do it", and it is the East Factory and the West Factory that "rush to do it"!
"Princess, what do you mean...... Are you willing to do it? ”
"That's right! I'm willing to share my worries for Long Live Lord! But now is not the time! Or, do it now, I'm not sure I can get it done! ”
Hearing this, Wang Chengen became interested!
Meaning, with the right timing, he can get things done?
Is this worth it?
At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen was indeed ambitious!
As long as the commercial tax can be collected, it can quickly alleviate the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty without increasing the land tax!
But above, because of the unanimous opposition of the courtiers, Zhu Youzhen's motive for levying taxes became revenge and provocation!
Retaliation, naturally, is to retaliate against the Chinese courtiers with taxes;
To provoke is to provoke the contradiction between the east and west factories;
At the moment, Wei Zhongxian has not moved, but Wang Ergou can do things well, isn't this the original intention of taxation?
The Wenchen in the court is actually not terrible!
Their yang and yin are the most terrible!
Wang Ergou, can he really withstand all kinds of obstacles from the courtiers and successfully collect commercial taxes for the Ming Dynasty?
"Princess, you just said, "Now is not the time", so when is the best time? ”
Wang Chengen's voice trembled a little!
"Princess, I once told the Lord of Long Live that if the monarch and the people deviate from morality, not only will things not be done well, but there will also be the danger of losing the country!
In this regard, long live the Lord deeply agrees!
The current Ming Dynasty, between the monarch and the people, is there a separation from morality? ”
Wang Li's words are actually a Tai Chi!
Because, he is waiting for Yuan Chonghuan!
He is completely sure that he can persuade Zhu Youzhen through Yuan Chonghuan to let him agree to open the port for trade!
At present, only Yuan Chonghuan can convince him!
At the moment of Qian Qianyi's arrest, the ghost of the Chinese courtier cried wolf, and Wang Li had already heard it!
At this time, if the West Factory comes forward to collect the commercial tax, no one dares to say the word "no"!
But now, it's really not the best time!
If the opening of the port and the collection of commercial taxes are carried out at the same time, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
At that time, the Chinese courtiers will no longer oppose it, but beg themselves to collect taxes!
Even Wei Zhongxian didn't see through this!
What Wang Li really wants is not to just go to the "pilot area" to collect commercial taxes, but to get the right to manage the port!
If it falls into the hands of others, you will be busy in vain!
Therefore, before Yuan Chonghuan did not arrive in Beijing, he used "centrifugal departure" to do Tai Chi, at least to buy some time!
When Wang Li said "centrifugal detachment from morality," he meant that Zhu Youjian disagreed with the Chinese officials of the DPRK.
It is difficult to find a solution to this matter in the short term!
Even, there will never be a solution!
However, in Wang Chengen's opinion, Wang Ergou seems to have a solution!
It's just that he won't say it explicitly!
Or, he just wants to say to Zhu Youzhen!
So, Wang Chengen hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace and reported Wang Li's words to Zhu Youzhen word for word.
"Hmmm! This Wang Ergou is indeed a talent! ”
Zhu Youzhen's words are really from the bottom of his heart!
Before going out on patrol, the poisonous chicken soup that Wang Li fed him has an endless aftertaste!
In particular, the idea of "Four Reasons for the Death of the Country" is both novel and bold, no less than the obscure sage classics!
"Long live the lord, when Wang Ergou said that "the monarch and the people are detached from morality", does he mean Gonggong Cao, Gonggong Gao and Gonggong Wang? ”
Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Zhu Youzhen woke up like a dream!
Yes, it must be!
He has a grudge against the people who spy on him!
I want him to do things for himself, but he sends someone to spy on him, this is not a deviation from morality, what is it?
If he is sure that he will collect commercial taxes and alleviate the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty, he should really trust him!
Instead of looking for someone to spy on him!
"Recall Gao Qiqian and Wang Dehua, right away!"
"No!"
Wang Chengen came out as ordered, but soon returned: "Long live Lord, this is the resignation of Father-in-law Wei!" ”
"Humph! A little Chen Derun made him restless? Zhu Youzhen took the book, but he didn't bother to read it carefully:
"If it weren't for the courtiers, you wouldn't be able to spend Chinese New Year's Eve!"
"Long live Lord, you think too highly of him, don't you?"
"No!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head confidently: "At the beginning, I thought so too!" However, I learned what it means to "check and balance"! ”
