Unlike Zhengde who left the capital and traveled south to travel around, Jiajing's goal of leaving the capital was very clear, and it was already the Xingwang Mansion that he longed for.

But one has to admit that the emperor, who grew up in Anlu, has very strong feelings for Anlu and already regards Anlu as his true hometown.

From the initial promotion of Anlu Prefecture to the Chengtian Mansion whose administrative status was equal to that of Shuntian, to the multiple instructing cabinet ministers to compile the history of Xingdu, and finally to the expansion of the Chengtian Palace based on the Xingwang Mansion.

All these actions showed Jiajing's feelings for Anlu, and even in the deepest part of Jiajing's heart, he already wanted to move the administrative center of Ming Dynasty to Chengtian.

It's just not a good thing that the Emperor Nanxing Chengtian would not only cost a huge amount of money and food, but the Emperor's safety would undoubtedly be threatened to a certain extent, and it would even cause the entire Ming Dynasty to fall into turmoil.

As the finance minister of this dynasty, Lin Haoran knew the Ming Dynasty's finances best, and knew that this must be a considerable burden, and would even arouse the idea of ​​​​expanding Chengtianfu City in Jiajing.

Likewise, the first thought in his mind was to dissuade Nan Xing Chengtian from going to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, you can leave the matter of returning "Chengtian Dazhi" and begging for medicine to me and other ministers, but you must not do the matter of Nan Xing!" Xu Jie stood up to dissuade him at the first time.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. You must not go to Nanxing Chengtian!" Yan Ne and Li Chunfang knelt on the ground to agree, and together they dissuaded Jiajing Nanxing Chengtian.

Wu Shan was a person who could distinguish between public and private matters, so he stood up to dissuade him and said: "Your Majesty, what happened to Nan Xing is a serious matter, so I ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

For a time, the four cabinet ministers unanimously tried to dissuade Jiajing Zhen from Nan Xing Chengtian.

Throughout the dynasties, there were many emperors who wanted to leave the capital. Except for the Zhengde Emperor who liked to fool around, most of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty lived and died in the capital, and were not even able to leave Shuntian Mansion all year round.

As for the important ministers below, their attitude towards this matter was surprisingly unanimous, that is, to dissuade the emperor from leaving Beijing.

Lin Haoran originally wanted to put aside the grievances between the two parties and unanimously dissuade Jiajing, but suddenly stopped. Due to an inexplicable political sense, he turned to look at Xu Jie thoughtfully.

Sometimes this is the case, a conclusion suddenly jumps out of one's head without any logical analysis, which directly affects a person's actions.

Although Huang Jin knew the emperor's strong feelings for Anlu, he didn't want the emperor to go through such trouble. He was limited to his status as a eunuch, but he was not qualified to stand up and dissuade him? He looked at Jiajing curiously.

reaction.

Jiajing could not help but frown slightly. Although he knew that this matter would definitely encounter opposition from his ministers, he did not expect that the opinions of the four important ministers in the cabinet were so unified.

He suddenly realized that Lin Haoran had not expressed his attitude. He just turned his eyes to Lin Haoran and asked, "Lin Aiqing? What is your attitude?"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Haoran.

Xu Jie knew in his heart that Lin Haoran was a person who never acted according to common sense. His face looked ugly, and Yan Ne directly warned in a suppressed voice: "Lin Shangshu? In the face of big rights and wrongs, don't make any mistakes!"

Lin Haoran knew that it was a common practice for officials to dissuade the emperor from leaving the capital. In particular, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured during the Northern Expedition, which made it politically correct to prevent the emperor from leaving the capital.

He turned a deaf ear to Yan Ne's words, and responded to Jiajing: "Report to the emperor? I am calculating whether the Ministry of Revenue can bear the expenses of the emperor Nan Chengtian!"

Huh?

When they heard this answer, Xu Jie and others came to their senses.

Although Nanxing will not be as expensive as the Southern Inspection and South Tour, it is still a huge expense. The escort force alone is more than 10,000 people, and it will take more than half a year to go to Anlu and back.

But regardless of whether Jiajing listened to the dissuasion, if the Ministry of Revenue was simply unable to bear this huge expense? The emperor's wish to go to Chengtian Mansion was already bankrupt.

"Lin Aiqing, can the Ministry of Household Affairs afford the expenses for my trip to Nanxing Chengtian?" Jiajing asked indifferently, his face as dark as water.

Lin Haoran seemed to have thought about it for a while before he responded honestly and reliably: "Report to the Emperor? This matter is very expensive. February is a lean period. There is not much silver left in Taicang, the Ministry of Revenue. We can no longer afford this."

Ci Nan Xing Chengtian’s expenses!”

Xu Jie and others couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing these words, and found that Lin Haoran's dissuasive methods seemed more clever, and Jiajing's face became more and more ugly.

Just when the two sides were in different moods, Lin Haoran changed the subject and said: "If the emperor insists on Nanxing Chengtian, he may urge Mr. Xu Ge's disciples to observe the law as soon as possible and escort the stolen money to Beijing as soon as possible, and the matter will be a matter of course!"

Although the imperial court ordered Yan's family to be raided when Yan Shifan was beheaded, the new Jiangxi inspector Cheng Shojie appointed by the imperial court did not arrive at Yuanzhou Mansion until August.

The inspection of Yan's family lasted for more than two months before it came to an end. Although the two million in silver escorted was on the way, it has not yet been transported to the capital.

As Lin Haoran said, if the two million silver arrived in the capital, then the Ministry of Revenue would not need to pay a penny at all, and Jiajing Nan Xing Chengtian's expenses would be solved.

this……

Huang Jin looked at Lin Haoran blankly, and suddenly realized that there is a huge gap in people's brains. These two simple sentences not only helped the emperor solve Nan Xing's money problem, but even took the opportunity to accuse Xu Jie's protégé of being a chastity.

The progress of the inspection of the Yan family was too slow.

According to common practice, the property of corrupt officials who are searched will go directly into the internal treasury. Therefore, Emperor Nan Xing spent his own money, and the world will probably not criticize him too much.

The smile on Xu Jie's face had not yet faded away. After hearing Lin Haoran's answer, he looked at Lin Haoran angrily. This boy was not trying to dissuade him, but was clearly trying to clear the way for the emperor.

Jiajing's eyes lit up slightly, but he almost forgot about this huge sum of money.

"Lin Shangshu, that dirty silver has already been used for other purposes. The 730,000 taels used to build Xianling's En Hall were spent on it. Not to mention other uses of this money, the Ming Dynasty's process has always been to conduct an inventory.

What do you mean by this?" Xu Jie stood up again and accused him.

Lin Haoran faced the accusation, but responded calmly: "The official is trying to find a way for the emperor. These two million can always squeeze out some money, right?"
