Chapter 54: Eruption
As soon as he left the palace, Li Qing went to the back hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of War and found Yu Qian.
"What about Wang Shangshu?"
"I'm not feeling well and I'm on vacation." Yu Qian knew what Li Qing meant, waved away the official at the door, and said, "Although Wang Shangshu is dissatisfied with the emperor's approach, he can still handle the major matters. ”
"He's really not going to be with those people?" Li Qinghu was suspicious.
Yu Qian said with a smile: "Sir, don't look at civil officials too badly, any group has good and bad, even those big landlords, there are also people who are willing to give, right?" ”
Li Qing touched his nose and nodded: "You're right, it's because I'm prejudiced against civil officials, and it's really not good to see that all civil officials are not good people." ”
Yu Qian smiled happily, he was a civil official, so he naturally wanted to make a name for his group.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing added: "But I don't think that Wang Ji is a good person, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter much in terms of personal morality, as long as he doesn't conflict with us in terms of political opinions." ”
Yu Qian:-_-||" Sir, this is discriminating against civil officials. ”
"Indeed." Li Qing didn't deny it, and shrugged his shoulders, "The main thing is that their hearts are too dark, otherwise why would Taizu kill so much?"
When Taizu was in power, they did not dare to be disobedient, but since Taizu's death, this group has not been settled. ”
Li Qing snorted: "If it weren't for Taizong's Jingjing, Da Ming might not have become, you say, can I have no prejudice against civil officials?" ”
"Sir, I'm also a civil official." Yu Qian said.
Li Qing shook his head: "You are different. ”
Yu Qian scratched his head and said curiously, "Since I entered the court, Mr. has been cultivating and helping openly and secretly, why is this?" ”
"Because...... I see you pleasing to the eye. Li Qing opened his mouth and came.
Yu Qian naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that Li Qing didn't want to say it, he didn't ask again.
He took the initiative to divert the topic: "How many people will be left in Jingshi this time?" ”
"Forty thousand." Li Qing said with a smile, "Leaving 40,000 can calm the turmoil, and things have developed so far, and the winner has basically been divided;
Although the turmoil is about to be faced, in fact, the result is already doomed, it seems to be critical, but in fact it is just a matter of course, you don't need to be too nervous, just keep a normal heart. ”
Yu Qian was bitter, "But...... After all, I still have to suffer labor pains! ”
"Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come!" Li Qing had a different opinion, "This time this unhealthy trend will be suppressed, and it will be easy to control it in the future." ”
Yu Qian sighed and nodded silently.
He understands everything, but he ...... I feel very uncomfortable.
"By the way, sir, does the emperor need Yang Hong this time?" Yu Qian asked.
"How's this guy?"
"Absolutely trustworthy." Yu Qian said seriously, "It's not that we have an in-law relationship, this person is indeed a good general, and his character is superior. ”
Li Qing nodded: "There is no him on the list this time, but since he is trustworthy, it is also excellent to leave the Gongwei Jingshi." ”
"It's arranged... It's pretty good, too. Yu Qian nodded, a little regretful: "He has not been promoted for many years, and he has been a little depressed, I thought it was ...... He's going to get a chance this time. ”
Li Qing smiled and asked, "Why don't I tell the emperor?" ”
"Not really." Yu Qian shook his head, "Since it has been decided, it will still be according to the original plan, I just ask." ”
Li Qing smiled and taught: "This person, it's better not to bind yourself with extremely high moral standards, as long as that heart is good, and those who achieve great things are not informal;
It's hard to make a big deal out of it! Li Qing said, "Internal action does not avoid relatives, he has the ability, you can fight for the emperor, blindly pursuing the public selfless, it is not advisable." ”
Yu Qian just smiled, obviously, he didn't listen to Li Qing's good words.
Seeing this, Li Qing no longer persuaded him, he knew Yu Qian's temperament, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to change in this life.
Everyone's values are different, what they pursue and what they adhere to are also different, and there is no need to impose their will on others.
Li Qing said: "Find a reason, let the household department ...... first Forget it, it is estimated that the emperor will consult with you in the next two days, and then you and the emperor and Zhang Fuding will be determined. ”
"Huh?" Yu Qian saw his posture of picking a child, and suddenly became anxious, "Mr. is not involved?" ”
Li Qing rolled his eyes and teased: "Zhang Fu didn't say anything about commanding the army, and he has experience in suppressing rebellions, you also know about the military, and you have been a soldier for so many years, and you still don't understand the logistics?" ”
Yu Qian's face was hot, and he said: "Mr. is resourceful, with you, I am at ease." ”
People always want to have a leader, or they want to have a back, which is a kind of inertia.
Yu Qian didn't have to let Li Qing do something, even if Li Qing didn't do anything, as long as he stopped somewhere, he would be sure in his heart.
"Sir, it's better for you to participate in the whole process of such a big matter." Yu Qian sneered, "Even if it's just supervision, don't fish for three days...... Ahem, it's a special situation now. ”
Li Qing said with a smile: "This time it's not a plan and calculation, it's about strength, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division are not in vain, as long as we fight steadily, we have no possibility of losing." ”
"But if you plan Zhou Xiang, you can reduce the damage even lower, can't you?" Yu Qian said.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to salt." Li Qing reluctantly agreed.
Yu Qian smiled and nodded, and when he saw Li Qing turn around and was about to leave, he asked, "Where is Mr. going?" ”
"In the past two days, I have been on the morning and afternoon mornings in a row, and I am a little tired, so I will go back to rest." Li Qing waved his hand and left without looking back.
Yu Qian: "......"
——
The next day, in the court.
The tense atmosphere between the monarchs and ministers became more and more intense, and even the eunuchs on duty felt that something was wrong, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
The monarch and the ministers played the same as before, but there was disobedience everywhere.
Zhu Qizhen didn't care, the worst was prepared, what else was there to fear.
At the end of the early dynasty, Zhu Qizhen deliberately stayed in the court, and the ministers were annoyed, but they were helpless.
Zhu Qizhen sighed: "In recent years, the treasury revenue has been decreasing year by year, and even to the point where it is beyond its means, although there is enough grain, but the gold and silver reserves have shrunk seriously......
The ministers listened quietly, and did not answer the stubble, deliberately hanging him.
Zhu Qizhen was unconscious, not embarrassed at all, still talking to himself, and when the foreshadowing was in place, he offered the ultimate move:
"So, I decided to reopen the silver mine and increase the revenue of the treasury!"
Now, it's not okay not to answer the phone.
On the surface, the silver mines have stopped mining, but in fact, they have been mining, but they are only secretly mining, and the local officials and Beijing officials have put all this silver into their own pockets.
Once reopened, their financial route was cut off again.
There is also a high cost of doing trade, but mining silver ore is different, it is simply picking up money.
In the Xuande Dynasty, a total of more than 2.3 million taels were mined in ten years, while only 21,000 taels were mined in five years of orthodoxy.
You can imagine how much these people are greedy.
Right now, the little emperor is very ambitious, once the silver mine is reopened, how can they still get such a big amount of oil and water.
Even Mao can't catch a single one, and the person in charge of supervising the mining at that time is a eunuch nine times out of ten.
"The emperor is the co-lord of all the people, rich from all over the world, why does he care about these small profits?" Chen Shan of the cabinet came out of the class, "It is true that the silver class can increase the income of the Ming Dynasty, but it is pitiful;
Moreover, mineral mining is very dangerous, and there are not a few laborers who have lost their lives for this. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Wang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, came out of class, "How can the emperor sacrifice great righteousness and abandon the people for small profits?" ”
Wang Zhen went out of class, "The king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat; The emperor's move was not done by Ming Jun, and if it aroused public resentment, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Did you start laying the groundwork so soon...... Zhu Qizhen sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "During the Taizong and Xuanzong periods, the silver class was more than 100,000 taels every year, and with such high-intensity mining, I haven't heard of how many laborers died;
After I ascended the throne, how much money did I pay every year, and you didn't count it in your hearts?
Or do you mean that Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong are not Ming Jun? ”
This big pot was buckled, and no one dared to take it.
Who dares to say no, Zhu Qizhen chopped him up in minutes, they can refute it, and even scold the living emperor, at least they can take advantage of the reason of 'loyalty against the ear';
But if it is said that the dead emperor is not, then the nature is different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is against the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Qizhen said categorically: "Don't persuade Zhu Qing again, I have made up my mind!" Scatter the dynasty! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers saluted, and they were very obedient and did not persuade again.
Because there is no need, the situation has developed to this point, and only a big shock can anyone compromise.
…
Since this day, the court has become more depressed, and there are fewer people talking at the court.
So much so that many people would rather stay and fold than open their mouths in the court.
As the days passed, the contradictions between the monarchs and ministers became bigger and bigger, and finally it came to the point where the words of the ministers were not as big as Zhu Qizhen's words.
A month later, Fu. Jianlai reported that the Japanese were rampant, the people's livelihood was difficult, there were not a few people who fell into the grass, and the mining was not smooth, and more than a dozen lives were caused in a row......
The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the operability of the local gentry is too great.
The local gentry have a close relationship with the Beijing officials, and it can be said that these Beijing officials can achieve remote command.
Of course, this situation is not unique to the Ming Dynasty, it has existed in all dynasties, and it was even more domineering before.
This is also the fundamental reason why the emperors since ancient times have pursued the Son of Heaven and scholars to share the world.
If you don't want to, you can't.
The reason why Song Taizu swore an oath not to kill the official, not to kill the minister, not to kill the doctor, is not because of Corporal Lixian, nor because of benevolence;
It's that he can't do it!
Just ask, which emperor doesn't want to hold the power of life and death?
It is not that Song Taizu is incompetent, but that the political soil of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is different, the Ming Dynasty was pushed to the Yuan Dynasty to rebuild, but the Song Dynasty was not, at least not exactly.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, scholars were very powerful, and Song Taizu had no choice.
And the root cause of the short life of the Song Dynasty is also here, because most of the resources have not been redistributed.
When the distribution of resources is extremely uneven, and the lower classes of people cannot survive, the world will be in chaos, and then a new dynasty will be established to redistribute resources;
However, with the passage of time, resources will still be concentrated in a small number of people, and once again move towards a pattern of uneven distribution, which is a historical necessity and the reason for the rise and fall of successive dynasties.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was much better than the Song Dynasty.
However, the official gentry of the Ming Dynasty felt bad, they envied the scholars of the Song Dynasty, and wanted to be like them, and worked hard for it.
Good fortune. On the fifth day after the construction of the rebellion, there was also a disturbance along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A lot of it has been built, but at least there is no phenomenon of a large number of people falling into the grass.
Everything was so coincidental and expected.
Zhu Qizhen had been prepared for a long time, but when this moment really came, he was still inevitably angry.
This time, he deeply realized that what is the Ninety-Five, what is the co-lord of the world, is just whitewashed and carved, and the emperor who has no real power is really a mascot.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qizhen's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Since the royal road is not good, then I will use domineering!" ”
"Wang Zhen!"
"The slave is here." Wang Zhen stepped forward to bow down and said respectfully, "Please ask the emperor to command." ”
"Go, Xuan Li Qing, Zhang Fu, Yu Qian, come to the Qianqing Palace to see me immediately!"
"Yes." Wang Zhen clenched his fists heavily, but he was a bit of a general, "The slave and maid retreat." ”
Zhu Qizhen stood up, his chest was full of passion, and his eyes were full of war.
