Riding a horse, wearing a unicorn suit, with the Marquis leading the horse... When Xu Jingchang came out, there were loud gongs and drums on both sides, firecrackers were blasting, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji were on the show again.
The uncle and nephew seemed to be competing with each other.
Who is the first partner?
Fatty Zhu said that his mood was stable, and his second brother could only fight with his son. He was already at this age, so why should he care about him?
Zhu Gaochi's biggest task this year is to serve his father well and ensure a smooth transition of the government. As long as nothing serious happens, he will be the crown prince.
There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
At this time, Xu Jingchang had already arrived in front of Zhu Gaochi, casually took out a pile of official documents from his arms and threw them to Zhu Gaochi.
"Your Highness, please take a closer look. There will be something urgent tomorrow on the 16th day of the first lunar month."
Zhu Gaochi caught the official document and trembled subconsciously.
"We discussed the strategy, but the time was too tight, and we did not inform the Sixth Section... Among them, the Inspectorate still needs to supervise 13 provinces, but the Sixth Section has done nothing, and they will definitely risk their lives. It is also our negligence. This matter is troublesome.
Yes." Jian Yidao revealed the truth.
Not only did he not come, but none of the ministers came, not to mention the ministers, not even the ministers or deputy capital ministers came.
"It's true!" Xia Yuanji's eyes widened and he panted.
Almost without exception, all the science and technology officials present were opposed to the strategy drawn up by the Sixth Ministry and the General Affairs Department, and they were firmly opposed to the plan to replenish the national treasury.
They thought this was terrible and treasonous.
"I didn't say that." Xu Jingchang immediately denied it.
This describes a very large plan, and it is very feasible.
"That's right, the six subjects are strong and strong. They fight against traitors and traitors. They go through life and death. They would rather have their heads cut off. The laws of their ancestors cannot be changed!"
Zhu Gaochi wanted to say a few words several times, but since they planned to reject the imperial edict and even Zhu Di didn't care, how could they take him seriously?
Zhu Gaochi also wanted to go to Xu Jingchang and ask him to find a solution quickly, but no matter what, Xu Jingchang didn't come.
This is the characteristic of Kedao Yanguan. They have low official positions and live a miserable life.
Xu Jingchang stood in the middle of the crowd, "News has just come that the Sixth Section and Thirteen Censors have gathered. They are going to use their power to reject the strategy we drafted."
Those who know are coming to court, those who don't know are coming to fight.
He knew that what Ke Dao Yanguan said was a bit exaggerated and not quite right.
"You!" The eyes of several ministers turned red.
This was Zhu Gaochi's first experience. It turned out that the matter of governing the country could be so clear and clear.
At this moment, Dongfang is turning white. If there is no solution, we really have no choice but to fight to the death in the court, and there is a possibility of blood splattering on the Golden Palace.
He had been ready since the day he became an official and finally put it to use.
"There is only one solution that is not a solution at the moment. I remember that in the twelfth year of Hongwu, the Sixth Section was briefly under the General Affairs Department..."
After Zhu Gaochi listened for a while, he felt something was wrong.
If you pay a little attention, you will find that those who came early at this time are mainly blue robes, and they are generally officials from the Department of Science and Technology.
Even though Liu Ke's official position is not high, any decree cannot be issued without the consent of Liu Ke... Even if it is issued, it is an imperial edict and a disorderly order, which is equivalent to encouraging the officials below to violate it.
Who knows what they are doing?
Fatty Zhu was so anxious that he was sweating here. It was dawning over there, and it was not far from going to court.
She specially got four soup ladies for Zhu Gaochi and prepared the carriage.
He wants to be fine, is that possible?
As long as there is a person named Xu, the Ming Dynasty will be like Zhang Yide, causing trouble over nothing!
Xia Yuanji was shocked: "You want six subjects?"
"Yes, fight to the end and never back down!"
Today is the day of the first big court meeting of the new year, and someone came earlier than him.
What?
Does the General Secretary want to expand his powers?
They want to merge the six subjects!
Zhu Gao couldn't help laughing and said: "With such wonderful articles, even if I don't sleep for three days, I will still be energetic. You prepare a soup for me. I want to go there early and listen to the discussions of the ministers. I think so
No one will object to a good strategy. If it can really be accomplished, even if it is only 70 to 80%, my Ming Dynasty will have a completely new look after this year, hahaha!"
After hearing the words that were almost a declaration of war, Zhu Gaochi's face turned earthy and he stopped abruptly.
I thought that because of their low official status, they would not dare to act recklessly, but I did not expect that they would use the ultimate move to block the situation, which was really a life-and-death situation.
Before the fourth watch, Zhu Gaochi left for the Meridian Gate.
Zhu Gaochi listened for a while and understood the general idea.
These few people looked at each other.
Xu Jingchang added in a deep voice: "I have no intention of taking power. Apart from this, do you have any other options?"
No matter what, today's imperial meeting will not go smoothly.
Another person said angrily: "Businessmen are despicable, cunning and insidious. To collect taxes from them is to give them the opportunity to get into their houses. They also specifically requested the place, not to embarrass the merchants, but to provide them with conveniences, build bridges and pave the way...
…We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, not hawks and dogs of businessmen. If this continues, where will the dignity go? Where is the dignity of scholar-bureaucrats? Has the most noble person in the Ming Dynasty become a merchant?"
what to do?
Is it really necessary to fight hand to hand?
At this time, six ministers, nine ministers, including Rongguo Gong Yao Guangxiao, all gathered together.
Because Xu Jingchang proposed to focus on financial management and replenishing the national treasury, from the six ministries of the imperial court to the lower provinces, prefectures and counties, all must serve this matter without exception.
The official document in front of me is different. Every item involved in it is very feasible, and there are strict regulations. How to implement it is clearly written.
The greatest hope is to find the right opportunity to impeach the powerful, become famous once, and become a model scholar. From then on, he can escape from the sea of misery, be promoted to the sixth ministry, or be released to the prefecture, where he can be popular and drink spicy food.
Everyone has no idea. In the end, they still have to look at Xu Jingchang.
This is particularly rare.
He read it twice in one breath, and it was enough to watch the third watch. Mrs. Zhang came over to remind him, "Snap for a while, you will go to court soon. This is the first court meeting of the new year. If you doze off, you will be in trouble."
It’s embarrassing.”
But if these people are determined to reject the chaos, this plan will be very difficult to implement.
In this strategy, there is no place for the six subjects to be used.
Fatty Zhu smiled so hard that the flesh on his face trembled. He had never been so happy since coming to Yingtian.
"If the strategy cannot be implemented, there will definitely be no way to explain it. I have no choice but to resign. If Your Majesty refuses, I will return to the prison and wait for you."
broken!
From the inside out, it feels like being bathed in the spring breeze, like drinking fine wine, and every pore is filled with refreshment.
Xia Yuanji immediately shook his head, "No, arresting them now will only enrich their reputation and make them more troublesome, unless you can catch all the officials of the Department of Science and Technology."
With an anxious mood, Zhu Gaochi sent Xu Jingchang back to his home, and then returned to the East Palace. Then he carefully unfolded the official document... When he saw it, it would be out of control.
Xu Jingchang said simply: "Now the only way is to let the Six Sections return to the General Affairs Department, and use the Six Sections to supervise the six ministries, implement government affairs, and collect commercial taxes. Only in this way can the anger of the Six Sections be calmed and they will not come out to cause trouble."
The whole person wanted to get in.
So people like Ke Dao are not afraid of heavy punches at all and are capable of hitting the wall!
There are even people here who are so obsessed with it that they would even give up their lives, as long as they are famous. Anyway, if he dies, everyone will be happy, and the children and grandchildren will benefit, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Hearing this, Liu Jun, the Minister of War, gritted his teeth in anger, "These bastards are just a bunch of biting dogs. They are really hateful! I suggest that the leader of the trouble be taken down, and we must give him a heavy blow!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jun was dumbfounded. Ke Dao was like a hornet's nest. After being stabbed, he would rush out and risk his life.
For example, Zhu Yunwen was very good at setting goals, and the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks around him wanted to restore Zhou rituals and eradicate the vassal kings. They were all ambitious and heroic.
But that was the end of the matter. The whole country gathered their strength and was overthrown by Zhu Di. Facts have proved that their effect on Zhu Yunwen was completely negative.
…
It's really comfortable to watch something like this.
It's still Jian Yi. He thought for a while and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Just do what Xu Tongzheng said!"
Xu Jingchang, don’t go too far!
"No matter what, we won't agree. You are just wishful thinking!" Zheng Ci said angrily.
"Since ancient times, the country has been governed by filial piety, morality, and ancestral system... I have never heard of a country being governed by amassing money! Such exploitation of the people, breaking their bones and sucking their marrow, will deplete the people's strength, and the country will not be able to survive!"
These people were angry and talking a lot.
Mrs. Zhang is also in a happy mood and feels that the New Year has a new atmosphere and is expected to be a prosperous and prosperous year.
Then Zhu Gaochi became confused.
Xu Jingchang did not hesitate and took out a copy of Begging Bones from his sleeve.
The problem is that Liuke has the authority given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's most obedient son. Even if it is just for show, Zhu Di does not dare to openly oppose the ancestral system...
Even if we catch them all, their successors will continue to cause trouble endlessly...
The officials, households, rituals, punishments, and military craftsmen, the six subjects were assigned to the affairs, and the thirteen censors... These people gathered together. Look at them carefully. They are full of fighting spirit, and they are so angry that they go straight to the sky.
He wanted to step forward and say a few words, but he heard someone say: "At this point, our Sixth Section can only use the authority given to us by Emperor Taizu to reject the arbitrary order and not execute it!"
Someone still wanted to refute, but Jian Yi became anxious, "When is it? Xia Shangshu, you should go and call Wu Quan from the Ministry of Civil Affairs now, and make it clear to him that if you want the six subjects to be worthy of their name, don't cause trouble. "
Xia Yuanji was startled for a moment and turned around in a hurry. Jian Yi led the ministers and went straight to the Meridian Gate.
Fatty Zhu was very anxious and wanted to say something, but the palace door opened, and the ministers lined up to enter... Then Zhu Gaochi saw the famous scene.
Although the six ministries and nine ministers talked eloquently, the ministers of the six departments remained silent until finally, someone proposed that the six departments should be temporarily placed under the name of the General Affairs Department to supervise tax administration.
Fatty Zhu suddenly realized that this is how the government works!
