Chapter 48: This young man has a good face and a dark belly
Zhu Jianshen held back his anger and said hatefully: "What if I have to ask the factory guard to investigate?" β
"The emperor thinks twice......!"
The ministers were well-trained and could not kneel for a long time.
'Bang! 'The jade paperweight shattered, and the debris flew everywhere, jumping like marbles on the gold bricks.
The ministers were silent, their faces full of fear, but their hearts bloomed with joy.
He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry......
Above the temple, anger will not solve the problem, except for impotent rage, it has no effect.
Of course, if it is a ruthless character like Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, it will be counted!
At least in recent Ming emperors, they can't do what Taizu and Taizong did.
Zhu Jianshen's chest rose and fell violently, and the hand holding the imperial case was trembling, but his mood was diametrically opposed to his expression.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
This ...... It can be described as an actor level per capita!
Even the eunuchs who were waiting on the side could kill the 'acting school' in later generations, the anxiety, fear, and worry about the emperor's dragon body...... All kinds of micro-expressions are quite in place.
"The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important, the emperor is angry......" The eunuch on duty was crying, so anxious that tears swirled in his eyes, and he bent over flatteringly and caressed the emperor's chest.
Zhu saw that he was deeply indignant, and pushed away the little eunuch angrily, got up and looked down at the ministers, his eyes were cold......
However, in the eyes of the ministers, this is just a cowardly manifestation of the poor skills of the donkey and the fierce inwardness, which is not to be feared.
The hall was silent for a long time...
Zhu Jianshen let out a breath of depression and said abruptly: "Scatter the dynasty!" β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......!"
The ministers bowed again, sent the emperor away, and their hearts bloomed.
This time, they won again.
And so on...... Promising.

Qianqing Palace.
As soon as Zhu Jianshen came back, he ordered Huai'en to pass on the message and summon the imperial history who had been secretly enveloped before to enter the palace to see him.
β¦
At noon, Zhu Jianshen personally drafted, drafted candidates, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to issue an edict.
Seeing that the emperor had really taken a step back, the Ministry of Rites stopped making things difficult and happily promulgated it.
The rules still have to be followed, and they can get inch by inch, but they have to give people time to breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise they will be forced to be anxious, and they will not feel good if they really lift the table.
But soon, they received Zhu Jianshen's decree again.
The first decree of the new emperor after his accession to the throne!
-- One percent of the commercial tax vacancies found are used for the welfare of officials, so as to comfort the officials who are loyal to the public and the country, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be promoted according to the size of their merits!
This move exceeded everyone's expectations, no one expected that the little emperor would come to this hand unexpectedly, and the things that he thought were settled would once again develop in an uncontrollable direction......
Unlike the edict, it was not drawn up by the Cabinet, but drafted by the Hanlin and issued by the Ministry of Rites...... These processes were directly issued by the emperor and then implemented, without any room for negotiation.
However, the purpose is not unsolvable!
In fact, in most cases, the emperor is reluctant to make a central decree, because if it is not approved by the minister, even if it is implemented, it is just a formality, and it will not be of much use.
Even because the Zhongzhi did not make achievements, it was in turn sent to the army by the minister, so in most cases, the Zhongzhi seems to be unquestionable, but in fact, it is just that.
What the ministers care about is not the purpose, but the content of the purpose.
Let Yicheng use it as an official welfare, reward officials who are loyal to the country, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be promoted as appropriate...... There are undoubtedly two words: differentiation!
People are profit-seeking, and in a profitable situation, the so-called alliance of interests naturally becomes fragile.
Especially Zhu Jianshen's angle of starting is too tricky, not the cabinet, not the sixth ministry, directly starting from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
As we all know, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really ...... Play fast and loose.
Before the cabinet under the auspices of Sanyang was powerful, they mixed with the cabinet, and after Sanyang left, the six ministries gained power, and they immediately changed their doors and became the loyal 'little brothers' of the six ministries.
But whether it is the Sixth Ministry or the Cabinet, they all understand that this 'little brother' is not honest at all. Γ³Ξ Ρ.oΡοΌ§
The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the imperial history, there are thirteen backbones, and the intention of dominating the dynasty has never been extinguished, and its 'wolf ambition' can be said to be well known.
Now that this kind of thing happens, it's strange that this 'little brother' doesn't stab him to death.
Not only that, but the sentence: "One percent of the commercial tax vacancies found will be used to reward officials." "The lethality is terrifying.
It is true that more than half of the officials in Beijing had close ties with the maritime merchants, but not all of them, about one-third of the officials, still followed the path of landlords and small peasants.
Strict inspection of commercial taxes has no impact on them, and they can still get benefits, will they not support it?
Although it is only one percent of the profit, anyone with a discerning eye knows how much silver this profit represents.
Zhu Jianshen's combination punch came down, and the team dispersed at once......
It wasn't until now that these old guys came back to their senses, and the little emperor had already thought about it, and it was just acting before.
This young man looks honest and kind, harmless to humans and animals, why does he have a bad stomach...... A bunch of old guys didn't expect him to do a sneak attack.
Obviously, the last moment was full of smiles, the spring breeze was warm, and the next moment, he suddenly took out a dagger, and he was caught off guard by a knife, and he stabbed him in the heart.
It's really not their dish, it's the young people who are too dark-bellied.
The old guys were so angry that they pouted their beards: If you can't beat it, you can do a sneak attack, you can't afford to play, right?
This time, they really have no good way, driven by interests, the hearts of the gathered people have been dispersed, not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but in the context of the dispute between the cabinet and the department, everyone can not be left alone.
Everyone knows that we must work together to resolve a crisis, but with this crisis comes opportunity.
The environment has changed, can you guarantee that your opponent will not take advantage of this opportunity to minimize losses?
Laughing on the surface, carrying the knife on the ground is the norm, and expecting the other party to keep its promises? It's ridiculous!
The word 'naΓ―ve' does not appear in these old dictionaries.
β¦
After the decree was issued, it immediately set off an uproar, and while everyone was in danger, they were also thinking about how to reduce their own losses by trampling on political opponents, or even go further.
They are like this, all because Zhu Jianshen is using a yang scheme, and the big 'potential' has been achieved.
This is also the reason why most people in the temple disdain to use intrigue and trickery, but instead conspire to prevail.
No one is a fool, conspiracies and tricks are too easy to be exposed, but Yang Mou is different, let you know my intentions, but make you have to act according to my intentions, this is the best policy.
Of course, there are still people who don't give up trying to create circles and pull camps, but in fact, this is just a show.
Most people hold on to letting others 'resist' and secretly make contributions themselves, and the so-called alliance is just a train full of mouths.
Even, someone has already told Zhu Jianshen, and even the content of the 'meeting' has been revealed to him.
Zhu Jianshen was very happy, and the depression accumulated in the past year and a half was released, and he was extremely satisfied.
This time, he won in the truest sense of the word.
However, Zhu Jianshen was not complacent, he knew that this time the main attack was a sneak attack, which was not above board, and this was a victory that he had been brewing for more than half a year and at the cost of the image of a 'virtuous monarch' for a year and a half.
He won, but not by conventional means, but with a sword that goes off the rails.
After holding back his ultimate move for so long, it is reasonable to win, which does not mean that his level is higher than that of the other party.
After the first shot, the prey will scatter in a hurry, and raise great vigilance, and the hunt that follows is not so easy......
Li Su, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was the first to make a decision and immediately wrote a letter to his family, asking the family to immediately pay the commercial tax that was missed in the first year of Chenghua.
This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate benefited the most, and he, the imperial history of the Zuo Capital, would naturally rise to the top, but it was just a year of paying commercial taxes, and compared to the return, he could fully afford it.
If he doesn't, the people below will pull him down.
After Li Su finished wiping his buttocks, he immediately stood on the moral high ground, began to point fingers, and solemnly stated that he would investigate strictly and thoroughly......
~
In mid-February, the Thirteen Inspectors from the North, accompanied by the factory guards, went down to the south of the Yangtze River one after another.
Of course, the factory guard is only responsible for supervision, and shall not interfere with the supervision of the imperial history.
In this mode, to a large extent, people who are obsessed with money are eliminated and secretly favoritism.
It was only at this time that Zhu Jianshen really relaxed.
"This time, I don't know how much silver I can bring to the national treasury......" Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but look forward to it......
In mid-March,
Shi Heng returned to Beijing and entered the palace to reinstate.
Nave.
Zhu Jianshen was even more overjoyed when he learned about the progress of the construction of the Hetao, and said happily: "Li Aiqing has always handled things steadily, and this time he did not disappoint me, which is extremely brilliant. β
After a pause, he added: "Shi Aiqing is also hard, Aiqing is old, but she still has to work for state affairs, I am quite sorry not to go, um... What Aiqing wants, I can't let it. β
Shi Heng is no longer the reckless man he was at the beginning after all these years, he could hear the deep meaning of his words, and arched his hand:
"Eating the king's fortune is worried about the king, this is the duty of the courtier, how dare you ask for a reward?
The emperor is clear, Weichen is old, and he often feels that his efforts are not enough, and he came back early this time, which is also the reason why his body can't bear it, and he hopes that the emperor can allow the minister to resign from the post of commander-in-chief. β
Shi Heng wanted to retreat, but Zhu Jianshen was like this, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Huh?" Zhu Jianshen pretended not to like it, and said with a straight face: "Lian Po still has strength in his sixties, although Aiqing is more than sixty, he is also in good health, I still need you to share my worries!" β
The scene process still has to go.
Shi Heng naturally understood, so he continued to resign according to the process......
In the end, Zhu Jianshen looked sorry and reluctantly agreed.
However, in recognition of Shi Heng's merits, Zhu Jianshen still retained his position as the chief military officer, which is a kind of favor, and he can receive an extra share of his son's salary.
The two of them achieved their goals and were in a good mood.
Shi Heng saw that the emperor was in a very good mood, and hurriedly took the opportunity to tell him Li Qing's request.
"Money?"
"Ang," Shi Heng said, "Yongqing Hou said, not only those tribes, but only our Ming army...... The silver before was really not enough. β
"How much?"
"At least one million two thousand taels." Shi Heng said cautiously, observing his face, ready to confess at any time.
Unexpectedly, the emperor, who has always been stingy, was not angry, only pondered for a moment, and then agreed: "No problem, yes." β
