The division between treasury and internal funds seems to have never been clear.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, internal funds are his own private money, and he can spend it however he likes.

But from the perspective of the ministers and the people, this world belongs to your Zhu family, why is it necessary to make such a clear distinction?

If one has money, it is the emperor's duty to help the people of the world.

But now, Bai Xintuan didn't dare to say this to His Majesty.

Although before coming, or during the discussion yesterday, Bai Xin acted as if I will not go to hell, who will go to hell, and kept saying that even if he lost his life, he would advise His Majesty.

In fact, I have some calculations in my heart. For example, today's words have been rehearsed countless times in my mind, which can not only point out the problem, but also avoid direct conflicts.

When thinking of these words, Bai Xintuan admired his talent very much.

Although His Majesty seems a little angry at the moment, Bai Xintuan understands that this issue has been debated many times in the court, and even if His Majesty is unhappy, he will not care too much.

After thinking for a while, Bai Xintuan simply said with a heart, "Report to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has such need, even though the salary is low, I can still give everything for the Ming Dynasty."

This move was a huge blow, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.

Many officials even looked at Bai Xintun with approval.

Bai Xintiao became more confident.

To be honest, the salary of an official was really pitiful in Hongwu's day.

In fact, many officials in the capital do not care about their salary, but more about their own power.

For example, Bai Xintuan's monthly salary might not be as much as a disciple from a wealthy family.

In particular, Bai Xintuan is considered to be at the top of the literati, making a little noise, even if it is just casually talking to a servant or the housekeeper.

Countless powerful and powerful families sent their descendants of the right age to become their disciples.

On the surface, it's just the six rites of cultivation, but the real cultivation in the secret is amazing.

So after saying this, even if His Majesty really wants to do this, he has nothing to worry about, and can actually win a better reputation.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and his body leaned back slightly.

After sitting on this dragon throne for twenty-five years, he has many ways to deal with the situation in front of him, and there are also very simple and crude ways.

But today, he did not plan to go directly by himself, but gave the opportunity to his eldest grandson.

This court will belong to Dasun in the future, and now that he is facing it, he can gain a lot of learning experience, and he also believes that Dasun can handle this matter.

After spending a long time together, Zhu Ying naturally understood the meaning of the old man's look.

Zhu Ying was not polite about this. He took a slight step forward, looked at Bai Xintiao and said, "Bachelor Bai has a noble and upright character, and his sleeves are full of breeze, which is admirable."

"Since Bachelor Bai has the intention to set an example, I am also happy to show the beauty of adulthood."

"It's just that these words are the words of Bachelor Bai alone, and I can't represent other ministers casually. However, I think that at least the Hanlin Academy should follow the example of Bachelor Bai, so it won't be a big problem."

"In this case, I think that in the future, I will reduce the salary of the Hanlin Academy by 30% and replenish the national treasury for disaster relief and rescue the people. I don't know what Bachelor Bai's intention is."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Xintuan's expression suddenly changed.

He didn't expect His Highness Taisun's angle to be so tricky, and he directly put himself on the fire.

Without looking, he could feel that his colleagues around him were all looking at him with dissatisfied expressions.

This can be considered as dragging down the entire Hanlin Academy.

Originally, as far as the Hanlin Academy was concerned, many of them were truly talented people. After all, this was the most top place for talent and learning in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the smallest title is a great recognition for a scholar to the outside world.

Now if it is really because of this incident that the salaries of all officials in the Hanlin Academy are reduced by 30%, his future reputation will be ruined.

Thinking of this, big beads of sweat began to roll down Bai Xintai's forehead, and his back was almost soaked.

He never expected that His Highness Taisun would be so vicious that he would involve the entire Hanlin Academy and frame himself for injustice.

After only a brief hesitation, Bai Xintuan immediately replied: "Your Highness must not be like this. Most of the students in the Hanlin Academy are from poor families, and they can barely live and clothe themselves with the salary from the court."

"If I cut this into 30%, I'm afraid I'll have to eat chaff and drink water, and I'll even go hungry often. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhu Ying replied: "Oh, so to speak, when others are so poor, why can Bachelor Bai not care and hand over his salary easily? Is it possible that Bachelor Bai is like a god who can just eat the wind and drink the dew?

"

"Or maybe Bachelor Bai has other ways to make money, and his salary is not worth mentioning in comparison?"

Two plain questions completely suppressed Bai Xintiao. At this moment, Bai Xintiao's mind was filled with mud and his mind was a little messy.

As I get older, my reaction time is much slower. Now I feel like an ant on a hot pot, but I don't know how to respond.

This is a real murderous act. If Bachelor Bai can't answer it, it means that there is something wrong in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's half-lying body was leaning slightly forward.

Obviously, if Bai Xintuan was still speechless later, Zhu Yuanzhang would not mind sending him to prison and interrogating him severely.

Moreover, other ministers had nothing to say about this handling method.

Seeing that a long time had passed and Bai Xintiao had not yet answered, Zhu Yuanzhang was already ready to call the Jin Yiwei over and put him in the imperial prison first.

At this time, Liu Sanwu coughed and came out of the class: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's accurate."

Seeing this, Liu Sanwu felt slightly relieved. If His Majesty rejected it, it would mean that Bai Xintuan was hopeless.

After pondering in his heart, Liu Sanwu said loudly: "I have been friends with Academician Bai for many years, and I also know a little about Academician Bai's situation."

"Mrs. Bai's natal family is quite wealthy. It's hard for Mr. Bai to talk about it, but I have to say that in terms of life, Mr. Bai's wife is still very dedicated."

When the ministers heard this, they immediately showed a look of understanding, which also explained well why Bai Xintuan did not answer. This statement still makes sense.

Even if Bachelor Bai's wife is carrying a large sedan chair, the matchmaker is marrying her.

But if you do this, you will be suspected of eating soft food, which will be looked down upon.

But now that Liu Sanwu has explained it, this feeling no longer exists.

Besides, Bai Xintuan donated his salary for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and then he went to eat soft rice, so the meaning is different.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't mean anything else. After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he didn't have to kill Bai Xintai.

If you really want to kill someone, there are many ways to do it, and you can find an excuse and be executed.

Over the years, not too many intellectuals have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang using various excuses and means.

Seeing that Bai Xintong's momentum had been completely suppressed and he almost lost his life, Liu Sanwu was somewhat unwilling to give up.

After all, this topic is about to be eliminated before it reaches the point.

Zhu Ying had good eyesight and observed Liu Sanwu's expression very well. He simply pulled him up and asked, "I don't know what Liu Hanlin thinks about what Bachelor Caibai said."

"Why don't you just tell me and listen to it."

Liu Sanwu was worried that he didn't know how to speak, but he didn't expect that His Highness Taisun would directly give him something to say. After feeling a little happy, he replied confidently: "Your Highness, I just listened to the point of view that Bachelor Bai originally mentioned, which is about culture, governance and martial arts.

, but I have some ideas.”

Zhu Ying seemed a little surprised and asked, "I wonder what Liu Hanlin's opinion is."

Liu Sanwu replied: "I look at all dynasties in ancient and modern times. To conquer the world, we rely on military generals, and to rule the world, we rely on civil servants."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is powerful both at home and abroad. Countries are paying tribute, and the world is at peace. After the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, the people feel at ease."

"I have the audacity to say that at this moment, we should follow the example of the previous Song Dynasty, implement the national policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs, and take governing the world as our own responsibility. Only in this way can we have long-term peace and stability."

"It is not the bias of the ministers. Military men are reckless and often do not follow the law. They rely on their military exploits to test the law. This only brings panic among the people, destabilizing the people's hearts and destroying the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, the military attache immediately became excited, and some of the brave ones even yelled out loud.

"You shameless old man, when we are fighting desperately in these troubled times, you are just hiding in a corner, eking out an ignoble existence."

"That's right, this old immortal thing has a black heart."

"What the hell, you're still a great scholar. In my opinion, it's all nonsense, bah!"

In the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, there are originally many distinguished generals, but all of them have explosive tempers.

Normally he doesn't talk because he has nothing to say, but now Liu Sanwu is peeing on his neck, and all kinds of dirty words are coming out of his mouth without any scruples.

However, what they didn't expect was that they fell into Liu Sanwu's trap.

Liu Sanwu knew very well that a general is like a double-edged sword to His Majesty. He can hurt others with good use, but hurt himself with bad use.

Nowadays, he ignores the rules of the court, which is extremely easy to arouse His Majesty's resentment. Compared with civil servants, kings in the past are more afraid of generals.

No matter how bad the civil servants are, they are just corrupt and accepting bribes, but the generals are different. They are very likely to separate themselves from one side and establish their own faction.

This is a result that no king can tolerate.

Obviously, if Zhu Ying hadn't been there, Liu Sanwu would have succeeded. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the military attaché with a frown on his face and an evil look in his eyes.

For Liu Sanwu to say this, in fact, as a king, he has a clear mind.

However, this kind of thing is generally done secretly, and it is rarely brought out to the public like Liu Sanwu.
