Zhang Heming was very angry after learning that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao had transferred Yuan Yingtai without consulting with his military department, and even gave Xiong Tingbi more power."
Your Majesty, what is this going to do, the minister is the secretary of the military department, he didn't consult with the minister, so he was good at appeasing the minister!
It's better to directly withdraw the minister, the secretary of the military department, first!
”Zhang Heming was furious, he knew that the plan of him and the people behind him to quickly solve the Liaodong matter was completely ruined.And his authority as the secretary of the military department was also greatly affected.The emperor's direct control of military affairs and interference in the appointment of feudal officials will undoubtedly make the governor of the border town directly appointed by the emperor not take him as the secretary of the military department in his eyes, but only the emperor.But Zhang Heming naturally did not dare to scold the emperor directly, nor did he dare to stop Emperor Zhu Youxiao's decision openly.After all, everyone knows that the current Ming Emperor is very tough, and he is prone to raid his family and exterminate his family.But the official clique did not want the emperor to spend too much money and grain on Liao affairs, so that their own interests would be damaged, and the political needs could not be conceded because of Zhu Youxiao, the emperor's obstruction.Although Zhang Heming can't stop Zhu Youxiao explicitly, he can still do it indirectly."
You immediately prepare a military department script for the old man, and report the current arrears of the military salaries of the nine borders and the arrears of the officers and soldiers in the mainland, and the old man wants to let His Majesty know that the military salary arrears of the Ming Dynasty have accumulated so much, and if the Liao affairs are not resolved as soon as possible, it will cause great difficulties to the imperial court's finances!"
Zhang Heming said to Xu Shilin and said: "If the war is not resolved every day, the phenomenon of financial scarcity will become more and more serious day by day!"
The old man believes that the household department and the ministry will also talk about the lack of finances in the imperial court, and His Majesty will know that governing the country is not what you want!
”Zhang Heming was right.Zhu Youxiao's act of transferring Yuan Yingtai and still supporting Xiong Tingbi's strategy aroused the opposition of not one or two officials, but many officials.Although, Zhu Youxiao had already dealt a miserable blow to Donglin Guan, who tried to directly oust Xiong Tingbidou.However, the officials, whether out of public or selfish motives, still did not agree with the emperor's support for such a strategy of spending money.Therefore, at this time, Wang Yingjiao, the head of the household department, also learned of the emperor's strategic intentions for Liaodong, so he also said: "This war needs to be settled, and the guest army is transferred to defend Liaodi, not to mention that the guest army's salary has always been very high, and the cost of transporting grain alone will increase a lot, and transporting grain from Huguang to Liaodong will cost five or six taels of silver for one stone of grain, which is much higher than the price of grain itself!"
If it's just for a while, it will only cost a sum of money to mobilize the guest army and get rid of the Eastern Captives in one fell swoop; But now His Majesty wants the guest army to fight with the Dongyu in turn, and the main body will take a defensive strategy!
How can the imperial treasury be supported!
At present, the levy of Liao salary has caused the people's hardship to intensify, if the Liao matter is not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the people!
The community is even more dangerous!
”"The imperial mausoleum project of the temple and the light temple, as well as the reconstruction project of the three major halls, these silver have not yet landed, Your Majesty let the Liao matter be so lavish and not quickly resolved, if it goes on like this, the imperial tomb will not be repaired, will the three major halls still be rebuilt, and the dignity of the imperial court will be rebuilt?"
Wang Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also shook his head and complained about this incident.And Li Ruhua, the secretary of the ministry, also sighed: "Your Majesty governs the country so frugally, how can you get it if you go on like this, since the temple, the officials in the world have not paid it, it is difficult to achieve it if you really have to continue to owe, then the rule of the court officials will only get worse and worse!"
”Because of this.The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, the four books were successively published, and they asked Emperor Zhu Youxiao for silver.Although these four Shangshu did not explicitly say that they did not support the emperor's strategy in Liao, they also obviously told the emperor by asking for silver that the Ming Dynasty really didn't have that much money for you to play like this in Liaodong.After Zhu Youxiao received the inscriptions of these four books, he only said one sentence: "It's menacing!"
”Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, wrinkled his eyebrows and thought deeply, in order to consider the interests of his inner court, he had to stand up and say: "Emperor!
Judging from slaves and maids, these officials have ill intentions!
Looking at it clearly, it is to let you know that the court is now short of money and the people, in fact, it is to force the emperor to give up Xiong Tingbi's strategy, or to force the emperor to take out the internal money, the emperor You have accumulated some silver by raiding the house, and they are eyeing it!
It's as if they've been staring at the silver that the temple has accumulated after collecting mining taxes!
”Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "This kind of thing, even if you know their purpose, it's useless, after all, the country is mine, and I can't ignore the life or death of the people and the border army." ”Saying that, Zhu Youxiao just threw the four question books on the case, and then muttered to himself: "I don't know how Sun Chengzong's cotton yarn is doing?"
”Come to think of it.Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian: "You preach my handwritten message, and someone immediately expedite it to Sun Chengzong, ask him how the cotton yarn is doing, and tell him that if he doesn't make money for me, then I will take all the army of the Ming Dynasty that lacks money and Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the world's displaced people to go to Jiangnan to raid their homes!"
Let him not underestimate my appeal!
”Gangnam.After Sun Chengzong received Zhu Youxiao's command, he almost fell directly to the ground, and the whole person was stunned as if he had been blown up by Jiao Lei.Seeing this, Li Yongzhen, the eunuch who was ordered to pass the message, only secretly recorded Sun Chengzong's gaffe, and asked: "Sun Fuchen, hurry up and return to Your Majesty, so that our family can take it back." ”Because this was a private exchange between Zhu Youxiao and his ministers, and in order to avoid too many people from knowing, Zhu Youxiao did not let Sun Chengzong return the secret recital after sending it to Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong returned the secret recital to Li Yongzhen, and then Li Yongzhen brought it back to himself.The use of the secret book to report to himself is a way for Zhu Youxiao to circumvent the normal government exchange procedures of foreign dynasties for officials such as Sun Chengzong, which is highly confidential, does not need to be disclosed in the palace newspaper, and is also faster, and it is convenient for the emperor to directly instruct the officials under him.Sun Chengzong came back to his senses after listening to Li Yongzhen's words, and hurriedly said: "This is written." ”As he spoke, Sun Chengzong began to write in a hurry, he didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to really lead all the martial arts people in the world who were oppressed by the officials and gentry to go to Jiangnan to raid their homes.In the secret book, Sun Chengzong told Zhu Youxiao that he had earned more than three million taels of silver for Zhu Youxiao in Songjiang, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the yarn factory will earn more official profits in the future, and the ministers ask Your Majesty's quasi-ministers to personally release the silver and enter Beijing in the name of going to Beijing to report on their work, and I hope that Your Majesty will give your ministers another chance, and the ministers will do their best to make your Majesty prosperous and Ming!"
Open my Ming Dynasty again!
Long live our emperor!
The minister's right and the governor of the imperial history, Su Song, the military affairs of Sun Chengzong, worshipped!
”After all, it was a huge sum of more than three million taels, and Sun Chengzong did not dare to hand it over to others.In the tantric recital, Sun Chengzong is particularly humble and cautious.After Zhu Youxiao received Sun Chengzong's secret recital, he temporarily put aside the idea of mobilizing the military and civilians in the world to directly rebel against the gentry, and only said secretly: "With the continuous income brought by this government-run industry, it is enough to raise troops and maintain the factory guard force, and then use the soldiers and factory guard forces in his hand to rely on the traitorous Jin merchants, even if they spend all the existing internal funds, they can quickly make up for the expenditure of the internal funds.No way!
”After thinking so, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Wei Zhongxian to send a message to the four Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the cabinet ministers and the eunuchs of the celebrant to meet him.
