Chapter 43: Not giving in to each other

In the court.

Yu Qian held his breath and stared, thinking about the words in his mind, preparing for today's 'big war'.

Glancing at Wang Zhi not far away, the latter nodded slightly, indicating his help.

Yu Qian sighed, thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease, turned around and crossed the crowd, and glanced at Li Qing.

found that Li Qing looked like he was fine, and he didn't wake up.

Isn't today the day when the emperor promulgates the national policy? Yu Qian was a little puzzled, but he didn't feel like it, after all, Li Qing had come to the court.

Yongqing Hou really has a big heart...... Yu Qian smiled bitterly, however, under the influence of Li Qing, he was not so nervous.

Half an hour later, Zhu Qizhen stepped into the main hall.

The ministers visited, and the mountain shouted long live.

After the great gift of the monarch and the ministers, the ministers returned to their respective shifts, waited for the emperor to ask questions, and then reported to work.

They didn't notice that there was any difference between today and usual.

Zhu Qizhen didn't ask the sentence: "Zhongqing can have a play." Instead, he said directly: "Wang Aiqing." ”

Wang Qi, Wang Ji, Wang Zuo, Wang Zhi...... The bigwigs looked at each other, and they didn't know who the emperor was calling, so they all stood up.

Zhu Qizhen added: "Wang Aiqing, step forward to answer. ”

Hearing this, the other bigwigs surnamed Wang went back to work, and Wang Wei stepped forward and arched his hand: "What does the emperor say?" ”

"In the past, the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West, what happened now?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Wang Wei didn't expect the little emperor to ask this, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "The treasure ship is in disrepair and basically can't be launched. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked sorry and sighed: "These treasure ships have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but now they can't even go down the water." ”

After a pause, he said loudly: "Wang Aiqing, I order you to immediately mobilize manpower, and within three months, these treasure ships will be repaired, not only can they be launched, but they must also withstand the waves." ”

"It's... Yes? Wang Yu was stunned, "Your Majesty, this is... Why? ”

The ministers' faces changed slightly, and there was a faint sense of foreboding: the emperor didn't want to ......

"I'm going to restart the maritime trade." Zhu Qizhen said.

Brush β€”β€”!

The hundred officials looked at Zhu Qizhen at the same time, shocked in their hearts, and their faces were ugly.

Sure enough, the little emperor still wanted to restart the maritime trade.

It's not that they didn't think that this would happen one day, but they didn't expect this day to come so soon.

How long has it been?

In just two years, the guarantee system was abolished, and then the minister was withdrawn, and the power of the civil official group shrank significantly.

Now it is even more necessary to reopen the imperial trade, which is simply a fall from heaven to hell for them.

Can't let it anymore!

This is the voice of all Wenchen.

Even many military attachΓ©s and nobles disagreed, and they were secretly conducting maritime trade.

Although the imperial court explicitly forbade officials to engage in maritime trade, for the Beijing officials, this was just a means to accelerate their wealth.

Of course, they themselves are faceless, they are all in control behind their backs, and they make a lot of money.

The criminal department took the lead in the matter, "The official does not compete with the people for profit, the emperor has all over the world, and now that the treasury is full, why should he care about this little money?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The household department echoed the matter.

Yu Qian glanced at the officials of the former camp, but none of them dared to look at him, and they avoided his gaze.

It is in their own interests, and they will not rush to make selfless contributions.

Yu Qian was helpless, so he had to go into battle in person, humming: "Little money?

Taizong's southern expedition to Jiaozhi, the northern expedition to Mongolia, the canal, the relocation of the capital to Shuntian, and the compilation of the Yongle Canon...... Which one spends less money?

What is the basis for such a great achievement? ”

As soon as Yu Qian came on the field, both of them immediately became dumb and returned to work.

Soldier to soldier, general to general, it is no longer for them to interject.

The bigwigs in the court secretly frowned, scolding Yu Qian's ancestors for eight generations in their hearts, while thinking about countermeasures.

Wang Zuo, the head of the household, was thinking about how to deal with it, and was suddenly kicked secretly by his own Shangshu, and he stumbled and flashed out of the crowd.

Wang Zuo licked his lips, and it was not easy to return from work, so he retorted: "Taizong went to the West to spread the Ming culture and promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

How did it get into Yu Shilang's mouth and become a business? ”

Wang Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, immediately went out of class and strongly supported Yu Qian, "Why does Wang Shilang care about him?"

We are now talking about the profits of maritime trade, please do not ramble. ”

Wang Zuo was stunned for a moment, and said stupidly: "Now that my Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the country and the people are safe, and the taxes are even more rising, the annual tax during the Hongwu period is only 35 million stones, and now there are more than 50 million stones, why do you need to compete with the people for profit?" ”

"It seems pertinent, but it is actually a big mistake." British Gong Zhang Fu came out of class, "In the Taizu Dynasty, all the levies were rice, wheat, and fine grains, and now, more than half of the 50 million stone grains are Xuande potatoes, Yongle beans, and Yongle rice, these are all coarse grains, can they be compared?" ”

As soon as Zhang Fu spoke, there was no one who raised the bar, and the court fell into a strange tranquility.

Yu Qian struck while the iron was hot, "The British public is very true, this time, that time;

Now that the people of my Ming Dynasty can eat enough, most of the things that can be solved with food in the past now need money, relatively speaking, the treasury is not only not full, but poorer than the Taizu period. ”

"I beg to differ." Liu Zhongfu, the head of the household, retorted, "Fine grain is grain, but coarse grain is not grain?" A silver ingot is silver, but broken silver is not silver?

Or is it that Yongle beans, Yongle rice, and Xuande potatoes can't be eaten? ”

"You're ......!" Yu Qian was furious, "Messing around, is this the same thing?" ”

"Why not?" Liu Zhongfu snorted, "Is the grain in the treasury fake?" ”gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ōΓg

Li Qing saw that Yu Qian couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, so he had to go to work, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Liu Zhongfu looked back at Li Qing, his brows furrowed: Our Shangshu and Shilang fighting methods, what kind of excitement do you have in the matter?

Others are also not happy with Li Qing's approach, soldier to soldier, general to general, has always been an unwritten rule.

Although you Li Qing are favored, after all, you are just one of them, why should you?

I'm shameless...... Li Qing rolled his eyes and looked at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Step forward and say." ”

Li Qing stepped forward, turned his head to Liu Zhongfu and said, "Liu Shangshu, the lower official asks you a question......

"I don't bother to answer your questions." Liu Zhongfu is full of arrogance.

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and looked at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Li Qing asked, Liu Qing must answer!" ”

Liu Zhongshi: "...... Li Du asked in the middle of the matter. ”

"Over the years, has the treasury been getting more or less?" Li Qing looked at him fixedly, word by word, "Above the court, in front of the emperor, if Liu Shangshu dares to bully the king, the consequences will ...... Hehe, please Liu Shangshu answer. ”

Liu Zhongshi's face changed, and he was speechless.

"Answer!" Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Positive answer!" Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy, "Immediately!" ”

"It's changed, it's gone." Liu Zhongfu whispered.

There is no way to lie, the accounts are there, you will know it when you check it, and the little emperor already knows it, he doesn't dare to deceive.

Li Qing said again: "The emperor is wise and martial, and he governs the country in an orderly manner, why is the treasury getting poorer and poorer?" ”

"This ......," Liu Zhongfu stammered, "this official, this official also... The future and find the cause. ”

"Bang β€”β€”!" Zhu Qizhen slammed the paper weight, and was furious, "Then how did you become a household secretary?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, the minister ......"

"Needless to say." Zhu Qizhen interrupted forcefully and snorted coldly: "I see that you are an old fool, as a household secretary, but you don't even understand this account, what do you want?"

You, return home! ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhongfu was dumbfounded, and his face turned white.

Wang Zuo, who had just been kicked, was secretly happy in his heart, his mouth was tightly closed, he decided that he couldn't find the emperor anymore no matter what.

"The emperor thinks twice......!" Wang Wei of the Ministry of Industry said loudly: "At present, although the treasury cannot catch up with the Xuande Dynasty, it is enough to use. East, River. The great drought in the south, which is also the reason for the reduction of taxes, also asked the emperor to investigate. ”

"Your Majesty, the people are suffering." Chen Zhi, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out of the class, and was compassionate to the heavens and humane, "Please also ask the emperor to be merciful." ”

"The emperor thinks twice......!"

The ministers knelt down, all of them loyal ministers who petitioned for the people.

Zhu Qizhen felt an irrepressible depression rise in his heart, and said hatefully: "I thought about it again, thought about it again, and decided to reopen the maritime trade!" ”

His cold gaze swept over the ministers, "Who is for and who is against?" ”

Bosses: "...... The emperor thinks twice! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." The household department all spoke loudly in the matter.

The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate followed, "The ministers also have their own music." ”

"The minister also has a play!"

……

The six branches and thirteen official groups collectively attacked, and these trolls realized that it was time for them to perform, and they were active one by one.

Li Qing shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: Stir it up, stir it up, this time, you have to stir up your own little life.

This time, the little emperor wants to kill people!
